I believe Milly answered your main question.

If you're referring to my standard signature, the interface on the Microsoft
site, which you are using to ask questions in what Microsoft refers to as
"discussion groups", accesses the newsgroups. Newsgroups can be accessed
using numerous newsreaders and web sites. For example I use Outlook Express
to read the newsgroups - it's far more efficient than the web interface for
those who need to keep track of what we've already read, replies to our
posts, and we can see all of the posts in one screen.

If you want to see what I'm seeing, then this link should start Outlook
Express and load this newsgroup:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...ic.office.misc

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.
