Email a copy of responses

[Guest]

Just a suggestion to microsoft.
It would be nice if you added the ability to email entire topic/thread and
all its responses in text only form. Put a button right next to the print
button on the original posters message.

Hi - you might want to stop using the clunky web interface to these
newsgroups, and try using a newsreader like Outlook Express or Forte Agent
instead. It's a lot easier to do nearly everything there, including
searching, which is always a good idea to do before you post, as well as
mark messages to be watched, and filter based on replies to your posts. You
don't need email replies - that's not what usenet was designed for.

The Microsoft public news server is snews.microsoft.com and you can
subscribe to as many groups as you like.

<blush>
My old boilerplate thing had msnews.microsoft.com and I keep forgetting to
change it. So, I edited on the fly, and did so badly.

Perhaps "on the fly" meant "on the sauce" ?

My apologies to all parties concerned.
