rseiler Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Has anyone accessed the NNTP newsgroups yet? Perhaps it just takes longer than the 2 hours they quote, but the instructions are somewhat ambigious on how the username should be formatted. It actually says to use these kinds of brackets "<betaid>" around the number rather than just the "betaid". I've tried it both ways, but I'd like to know which way is intended. It almost seems like a typo to me. Note: This question is in reference to the new-style Connect way of accessing the server, not the traditional method (which was without brackets, using your original beta ID) for older programs not through Connect.

jadkins555 Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 it looks like Microsoft has finally decided to give an option to put a copy of your mail in the "sent mail box", well atleast from the looks of it.... I have always had that option. By the way, how do you become a butterfly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean B. Veteran Posted July 23, 2005 Veteran Share Posted July 23, 2005 how can you become a MSN mail/messenger tester????? already singed up for connect websight 586259544[/snapback] I emailed them a few days ago, and got this message today. Basically same question your asking: Thank you for contacting Microsoft Connect Help (mchelp@microsoft.com)!Our apologies for any delay in responding to you! As our application is going through the initial growing pains, so is our support team and we're working hard to get current on all outstanding issues. If you have registered on Microsoft Connect, there is a section on the My Participation page called Available Programs. This is where product groups can list programs that are available to any interested Microsoft Connect user. If, when you click the link, it indicates that there are no programs available, then there aren't any at this time. However, you can check back at regular intervals to see if any are available. For those who have expressed an interest in testing Longhorn, MSN Hotmail or MSN Messenger, those programs are by invitation only at this time. Our team does not have any information on when new programs become available. Please keep checking http://connect.microsoft.com for updates. Thank you for your interest in testing Microsoft products! Microsoft Connect Help Team -----Original Message----- From: Sean [mailto:<<snipped>] Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2005 5:23 PM To: Microsoft Connect Help Subject: Question Dear Microsoft, I would like to know how to get into betas.
