Has msnews.microsoft.com gone off the air ?
Haven't been able to get it since 11/14.....

No . I have had no issues whatsoever with the msnews. I see that you are capable to
post here (msnews) with your OE reader. What is happening exactly with your reader
(OE) when you try to connect to msnews. I do not understand because obviously you
can post here to this newsgroup wich is on the msnews newsgroup server

Bear, thanx for the info. Deleted old (orig) NG acct and others.
Installed new accts.....But wondering what corrupted them ?
Was playing with Avast. Don't think that did it. Maybe it needed
new blood, ha.
Preciate your KB and thanx again for not scolding. Time flies......
