5308-64: Mail/newsgroup feature?

I'm using Outlook Express (or whatever it's going to be called to access
the msnews newsgroups. I'm only subscribed to the Vista-related newsgroups.
However, when the reader checks for new messages, it checks ALL the
newsgroups available -- not just the ones to which I'm subscribed.

Is it possible to turn off this behavoir? If you're only subscribed to one
group, you shouldn't have to wait for it to check for new messages on dozens
of other groups just to see yours...

Probleme mit OE? Hier gibt es die Lösungen: <http://oe-faq.de>!

"Es ist gleich willkürlich, ob man den Leuten sagt: ihr sollt nicht frei,
oder: ihr sollt und müßt gerade auf diese und keine andere Weise frei sein."
(J. von Eichendorff)

Well, if you mean when you click on the "title" of the newsgroups in the
left pane (on mine I've renamed it to "Public Vista NG's"), when you click
"Synchronise Account" on OE6 on XP SP2, it does the same thing.

I guess this is expected behaviour.
