Newsgroups [was: Re: resizing keyin area]

Hi,

You have to set up the News account in Outlook Express.

Tools -> Accounts -> News -> Add -> News
   -> then follow the wizard:

   When asked about NNTP server, write: news.viecon.com
   Do not enable "server requires log on" because it doesn't.

When you are done, you should see the name "news.viecon.com" in the Folders tab
of Outlook.

When you click on it, it should ask you about whether you want to download newsgroups,
and here you go. Select the group name and Subscribe.

If you have a firewall of any kind, you need to enable the NNTP traffic there (usually
it is disabled by default), or it will not allow you to login to ANY group.
