I have msn dsl, connecting to netnews.msn.com with the new beta i downloaded today. It does access the group names but does not find any files. I also can access the group names through outlook express but again can't not find any headers or files it that program either. MSN internet phone support had me contact their internet web support team, who had me e-mail the newsmaster@msn.com, who just never did respond to a bunch of e-mail requests over that last couple of weeks. I went through this cycle about 3 times, with the same result of having no response from the newsmaster. Any chance you know of anyone one who can access the binary files through msn dsl, do they have a pop3 account? are there any factors I should check out? thanks
