I always thought of a News Server it is something like a Forum.. how far is this true?.... Can WWG be integrated with Microsoft Outlook or Netscape... so as to download new messages and applying filtering rules???? |

A forum is somewhat similar to Newsgroups and you could integrate it into Outlook e.g. a dashboard using the URL. The other way around, you could have a NNTP component to download Newsgroup messages into your forum, just having to filter the "dirt". ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

| so, is this means I can integrate the WWG myself into the Outlook, and the NNTP component is installed into the Server holding the forum or what? |

No, two different things. Get the Dashboard SDK from Microsoft, so you can integrate the Forum as a "Outlook Today" Page into Outlook. If you would like to have newsgroups articles in your forum (from a public or private NNTP Server) you need to get a component that can do NNTP and write a script to import them. ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

talking about downloading posts and working offline and these forum stuff... but I don't think so, since for example how would I reply for a post, forum uses VBScript in posting and not HTML |
