Re: a bit of help

Dunno to be honest. I'd hazard a guess at yes.
I installed it on a client's machine and it was working as a mail client. I presume there's no problems with NG's?
I can't see why there would be.

Outlook 2007 (or any previous incarnation of full blown Outlook that I've used) doesn't support newsgroups

I keep forgetting to hassle Ian Hagon to get new screengrabs showing the virginmedia server urls.
I've been meaning to do it for the last couple of weeks!
Must be the short-term memory, erm, memory... What was I saying?

Of course it works; we're talking about newsgroups.

It works with mail so it must work with newsgroups? Hmmm.

QED? QED?! It was demonstrated in the first post I made and rebutted by you, poorly, twice. Learn to read and get your facts straight before giving totally unhelpful information :rolleyes:.

No it wasn't. You simply said "You Can't use Outlook".
Tali explained it, not you.

Calm down, have a drinky milk.
