Hi, A short while ago, the text of posts on the Forum would appear in a news group which could be accessed by Outlook Express. They can no longer be reached by Outlook Express. I happen to favor the simple organization of news groups over the organization of forums in general. Does anyone know if Corel plans to go back to posting the Forum posts in news group.Phil
Hi,1. Let me add that it would be nice if the images from the Forum posts also appeared in the news group.2. It would be absolutely wonderful if I could reply to Forum posts via a news group accessible from Outlook Express.Phil

I've just tested with Windows Mail and there is something strange happening with it... with Outlook Express and other NNTP clients I have tried, everything seems to work fine, but with Windows Mail, I don't seem to be able to get the list of posts but I can log into the server as I see the list of newsgroups and can subscribe to them. I am investigating this.
1. Thanks Gerard. I'm glad that you are looking into it.1. I did indeed mean Windows Mail rather than Outlook Express. I use Vista.2. If you get any spare time, see if you can get the attachments and/or HTML images to appear in Windows Mail.3. If you get a lot of extra spare time, see if I can reply to a Forum post via Windows Mail. Quite a few of us prefer the format of a news group to that of forums of any kind.Phil
<FosterCoburn> wrote in message news:43318@coreldraw.com...Ronny, I can't answer why it does or doesn't work, but I always use Outlook Express to visit/post in these groups. There was an issue a few days ago where I couldn't read messages with attachments. I sent a quick note to Gerard about it and it was fixed by the end of that day. Thanks Gerard! I was able to see Jeff's attached graphic. Until recently, I couldn't see most attachments. So I think that was something fixed recently. I've not tried to post with an attachment from OE, but I'm guessing that has also been fixed. Overall I'm thrilled that we have the choice of how to visit the groups. Those who want the painfully slow Web-based method can have it. Those of us who prefer to breeze through lots of messages with a news reader can have it our way.
