In OE: Tools | Accounts | News | General | Address Field. Use a munged
address to avoid spam and people replying to you directly. You don't need a
valid e-mail address to post through OE.

In your case, lid would be a good choice.

Thanks Bruce,

Actually, I prefer OE for news because it is faster and easier. The only
reason to use the webbased solution is preventing spam. Where does your
e-mail address come from?

Use OE for posting and reading. If you use the MS Web Communities and
post a
message with the same subject as another, it can get tagged on to another
post when you use OE to view it.

I have post a message using Microsofts webbased discussion groups but I
cannot see it using Outlook Express or google groups.
I posted the message on March, 26 in newsgroup
microsoft.public.windows.64bit.general in the thread with subject “XP
x64
wont start after sp2” started on March, 19.
I see this message together with another message from March, 25 in
Microsofts webbased newsreader. However, I do not see it in Outlook
Express
and in other newsgroup readers.
What is going on here?

Klaus
