Thank you for that information.
I will decline your offer however - I avoid, like a plague, using that slow,
error prone, cranky Bermuda Triangle web interface.
I shall use ie6/outlook express from now on, until you close that one as
well.
Do MS employees use the web interface more than newsgroups?

I truly dislike the awful MS interface on the web groups, so unless the
Internet Explorer 6 General Newsgroup will be accessible from Outlook
Express/Windows Mail or WLMd, I will no longer be participating in that
newsgroup.

This has nothing to do with the web interface. There are a number of
Internet Explorer groups on the 'msnews.microsoft.com' NNTP servers. Two
of them are:

microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.browser
microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

Kristen is just saying that the former is going away on Dec. 1, 2006,
and that all MSIE discussion should be moved to the latter. To that end,
I am cross posting this to both groups, and setting the "Followup-To:"
to move this discussion into the preferred group. See if you can't find
that second group by doing a search for newsgroups on your news server.
If you are not using 'msnews.microsoft.com', and you can't find the
second group on your news server, you should request that they add it.

IE6 Brower is NOT going away. Kristen posted her message to that newsgroup
in error.

Followup TO reset to IE6 Browser.
 
Thanks for the confirmation. Didn't see the other replies when I posted.

Contextualised/clipped - a lot.

Thank you for the clarification, PA Bear.
So THIS group in which I am replying to you IS staying?
I have no need to "See if you can't find that second group by doing a search
for newsgroups on your news server.
If you are not using 'msnews.microsoft.com', and you can't ......"

Clarifying one mo' time: IE6 Browser and IE General are NOT going away on 01
Dec-06. Both will continue to be available via the clunky web-interface and
via your newsreader (using msnews.microsoft.com as newssever).
