Hello

newsgroup by clicking something like.

news://news.news_sever/newsgrou

The message said, "Outlook express could not open the URL
"because it is not a recognized format

ANYONE PLEASE HELP AND ADVICE

PS:pls also email me your advice and answers, million thanks
 
Open Outlook Express.

Go to Tools on the top menu bar and select Accounts.

Click on the New button and select News...

You will be placed in the Internet Connection Wizard. Fill in the name
you would like to appear in the newsgroups when you post messages.
Click on Next.

Fill in your e-mail address and click on Next.

Fill in the following for the NNTP server:

Server: privatenews.microsoft.com
Account name: privatenews\sp2user
Password: password

Click on Next
Click on Finish

Hi Carey
It seems that you are talking about how to gain access to a newsgroup, which I know it well
I wonder if there is no way to go directly by just clicking something like..news://news.news_sever/newsgroup_name
With thanks
