| > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| > Abstract
| >
| > The purpose is this message is to provide a status update on the Microsoft
| > Forum NNTP Bridge tool and share the progress that our Server & Tools Online
| > (STO) team has made as they get closer to the launch of version 1.
| >
| > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| >
| > Background
| >
| > Since the December beta release, STO has been working diligently to review,
| > triage and address the bugs that the community submitted. So a thank you
| > goes out to everyone who invested time and effort to test the tool and
| > provide feedback. Since the December release, several major and many smaller
| > bugs have been triaged and fixed.
| >
| > The v1 release, coming in mid-February, further improves the stability and
| > performance issues that MVPs previously reported. STO spent considerable
| > time working to improve the core functionality and overall stability of the
| > tool and users should notice big improvements here.

| > Scope of Microsoft Forum NNTP Bridge V1.0:
| >
| > The NNTP Bridge is an application created and maintained by the Microsoft
| > Forum team. This application emulates an NNTP server to the extent of
| > allowing NNTP newsreader clients to read data from and write data to
| > Microsoft forums. It is a custom solution built on top of the standard NNTP
| > protocol and expects communication from an NNTP newsreader client; therefore
| > it does not necessarily support all NNTP command input. The NNTP Bridge only
| > acts as a medium of data transportation between the newsreader client and
| > Microsoft forums. As a result, the user's experience may change depending on
| > the newsreader client. Different clients provide different user interface and
| > features.
| >
| > The NNTP Bridge officially targets the following three newsreader clients:
| > Outlook Express, Windows Mail, and Windows Live Mail. While other clients are
| > also being tested during the development process (including Forte Agent and
| > Thunderbird), bugs not pertaining to the three targeted clients are not
| > guaranteed to be fixed at this time.
| >
| > Major Bug Fixes:
| >
| > · Fixed an issue with posting messages larger than 8k
| >
| > · Better error message when you try to post to a "locked/read-only"
| > forum or you do not have permission to post to a forum.
| >
| > · Users are now able to access Partner Forums using the NNTP Bridge.
| >
| > · A date mishandling issue by the NNTP Bridge is fixed. As a result,
| > strange datetime interpretation and display on various clients, including
| > Forte Agent, should go away.
| >
| > · Fixed a major bug where users cannot access Locked (read-only) Forums
| >
| > · Fixed a major bug where double-byte characters (affecting many East
| > Asian languages) are handled incorrectly. This now allows double-byte
| > character posts via the Bridge, both plain text and HTML.
| >
| > · Fixed the time display issue with Forte Agent V6.5
| >
| > · Fixed a general date format mishandling issue
| >
| > · Fixed an issue where all newsgroups are marked as New in the
| > subscription window.
| >
| > · Fixed an issue where user can start a new thread with empty body
| >
| > · Start and Stop button for the NNTP Bridge now have keyboard
| > accelerators
| >
| > · There is now a space between "Re" and the title of the thread on each
| > replies to the thread when viewed in Windows Live Mail
| >
| > · Fixed an issue where NEWGROUPS command was not behaving correctly.
| >
| > · Fixed an issue where the GROUP command was not working
| >
| > · Implemented a proper output for the CAPABILITIES command
| >
| > · Implemented a proper output for the HELP command
| >
