I can't find it in Newsgroups, just on your web page. I updated my NG list,
and tried "microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general" and various
combinations. What is the exact name of the NG, or when will it be running?

Alan,
Here is the link to the NG:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/list/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general&cat=en_us_28cca3eb-7037-4d4f-bde1-d8efee1f1420&lang=en&cr=us

It can also be accessed from the IE7 Support Page (Bottom of the page):
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/support/default.mspx

Hope this helps,
Kristen

Try this link:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

If that link doesn't work, set up a news account in Outlook Express for
msnews.microsoft.com
The server is free and does not require you to logon. It carries over 2000
newsgroups related to microsoft programs including
microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

I am glad you haven't removed the newsgroup from the servers yet. There is
one problem with removing it. This is a MSDN managed newsgroup and, as such,
in this newsgroup MSDN subscribers are promised a response to technical
issues from Microsoft if no other answer is received.

The IE 6 and IE 7 newsgroups are not listed in the MSDN managed newsgroups
list and have no such promise. If this newsgroup is removed, there is no IE
6 or IE 7 group in the MSDN managed newsgroups and that will result in a
broken promise from Microsoft.

Please reconsider or add the IE6/IE7 groups to the MSDN newsgroups before
removing this group from the server.

Thanks,

Dale
