I tried to send a message a while back and it got stuck. Now every time I
open the news group I get the message Upload message to micro soft communities and then the status is that it failed. Is there any way I can delete that failed message? charles arnett |

Access the newsgroup through something like Google Groups, rather than
through the evidently broken Microsoft web page? (I think this is what the MVPs refer to as NNTP access.)
