Where is an Outlook Express Newsgroup?

I tried under Newsgroups Search for Outlook Express, Microsoft, MS and others and never found OE 6.X, yet I had such a newsgroup before I bought this new computer.

Specifically I like to know where in OE I need to uncheck something so it does not automatically remove Attachments.

I have looked in many places but do not seem to find the right one.
 
1. Start Outlook Express.
2. On the Tools menu, click Options.
3. Click the Security tab, click to clear the "Do not allow
attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially
be a virus" check box under Virus Protection, and then click OK.

Click to expand...

Tools -> Accounts -> right-click on the root node for your news server
in the tree list pane -> Newsgroups -> enter "outlookexpress" (or just
"express") and pick one. Try
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress.

That is not a valid link. It looks like it's listed twice, but msnews
is a pointer to news (or the other way around). I think Microsoft
originally had the news.microsoft.com and felt like they needed
redundancy, like they weren't well known enough. Probably
some lawyer dweeb that thought of it and convinced a network
analysist that it REDUNDANCY is good... although in this case
it really is NOT a redundant server but instead is a pointer and
it would be a logical fallacy to consider it redundant. So is it
redundant or is not redundant, that is the question.

;-)
 
Those links are not valid.
