Just discovered this in the MS answers forum settings
What is the "Use NNTP Bridge" option in My Settings?
The NNTP Bridge Client application allows a user to configure their NNTP
Reader to read and post to the forums. Users can install the client
bridge at the Online Forums Connection. To use the bridge users must
first select "Use NNTP Bridge" in the My Settings page. Note: at this
time, there are no plans to localize the support documentation for the
tool but the tool should work any locale forum. Users can visit the
Online Forums Connection for more information, bug status and to report
issues or suggestions
Going to try it and will report back....
BTW, it's only in Beta.....
And here's the link...

You have to add a news server at 127.0.0.1 and then subscribe to the
groups that you want to.

Yes, but it is better than having to use a web browser.

I guess, but the signal to noise ratio in there is terrible. I don't see
how that is BETTER than the newsgroups!
