Do yourself a favor and setup a real newsreader.

Outlook Express came free with XP.

You will later wonder why you didn't setup OE as your newsreader sooner.

I just wanted to say thanks. I was wondering what to put in the News (NNTP)
Server field to get back into the newsgroups. I lost a computer and am
getting things the way I want on my new one.

Thanks again.
