Default Links to Windows news groups in Outlook Express 6 issue

The link I recieved for this notification was "read the response " instead of
"read and rate the response" . The "read the response " link took me to the
correct web page on this newsgroup . The "read the response " link's url is :

"
http://www.microsoft.com:80/windowsxp/expertzone/newsgroups/reader.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.windows.inetexplor er.ie6_outlookexpress&mid=1a5d8791-8e86-4bd0-ba4a-21efa7c74001"

Which worked . I'll continue to monitor this and use the links. Although
in addition to using the links ,the best I can , I may also set up a news
group in Outlook Express also.

It's a bad link you are being sent. Either live with it until / if it is
fixed, or use OE as your newsreader. You don't get e-mail notification, but
there are other options.

I would assume that is an issue with the clunky Web interface sending you
a
bad link if all others in e-mails work. If you want, copy and paste the
link
in this thread. If we get a blank page, then it is not Outlook Express at
fault.

Note that most of us use a newsreader such as Outlook Express and not the
Web. It is known for its unreliability.

Hi Everyone,

When I post a question on the Windows news groups forum , I always
select
"notify me of replies" . And for the last month or so , when I receive
a
message in Outlook Express 6 saying that someone has replied to my
question ,
and then I click on the link ( the "Read and rate the Response" link )
,
it
takes me to a blank web-page instead of the page containing my question
and
the reply.
This problem only began about 6-weeks ago , and only happens with the
"Read and rate the Response" link from e-mail notifications from the
Windows
newsgroups . All other links in Outlook Express work fine.
Any ideas on what started this problem ?
Thanks.
