I'm running Ultimate dual-booted with XP-Pro. I can't post on the
newsgroups.bellsouth.net newsgroups under Vista/Windows Mail, but can under
XPro/OE.

I get a server error of '441/0x800CCCA9' under Vista but it posts ok under
XP-Pro. (to alt.test, for example)

The newsgroup servers are configured the same under both operating systems.

Any idea what is happening and what I should do?

Thanks!

probably bell south not supporting windows mail yet.
have you asked them what's going on.
from personal experience with bell south they are SLOW to support new technology.

That has nothing to do with it.

They've restricted messages on the servers to those using exclusively
UUENCODED messages, so go to Tools | Options | Send | News | Plain text
format and set it to UUENCODE and not MIME and then see if you can post.

But I don't really understand this: I would think that Windows Mail would adhere to the NNTP standard. So then, why would BellSouth be able to post a newsgroup article if it came from XP as opposed to Vista?

I'm confused! Realistically, this is not the BellSouth problem but rather a Vista problem?

seems a little funny your response supports the bell south problem in restricting posting format.
just as I said it was a bell south problem.

No, because its not a vista issue. Its a NNTP issue.

You said "probably bell south not supporting windows mail yet.", which is not correct.
