Any pointers to it.

Thanks & Regards,

A> why use a klutzy mailing list interface when you can
get this newsgroup via NNTP and http://groups.google.com ?

B> when requesting a Web search, you should report your
experiences with http://google.com first, so we know
what to avoid.

Just a nitpick, but you get it from google by HTTP. Real newsreaders
with real news servers use NNTP.

True.

Cheers!

Thanks a lot Philips!!, for adding into my knowledge base that these
google groups can be accessed through NNTP.

I tried a lot but had a hard time figuring out what should be the News
server name for this group that I have to set into MS OUTLOOK.

Any pointer of this.

An HOWTO would be most preferable.

Thanks & Regards,

Okay, focus real close on this phrase:

via NNTP and http://groups.google.com

Do you see any Hs, Ts, and Ps, all close together? They might be in
lower-case, so don't be mislead...;-)

If your ISP were foo.net, try news.foo.net. Otherwise, google your ISP's
help site for "usenet" or "nntp".

The vast majority of Internet Service Providers, provide a newsgroup
(USENET) server.

Get it from your ISP (most probably from its web site) and create a new
News account in outlook express (or some other newsgroup reader).

Outlook doesn't support newsgroups.

Well, you said 'and', which means that they're using NNTP and http://
groups.google.com simultaneously, doesn't it? If you'd said, "NNTP or
http://..., I'd have kept my mouth shut, of course.

Thanks,

Thanks a lot, Everybody!!

Please correct me if I am wrong. OUTLOOK seems to provide news reader.
We can click View->GoTo->news & do our setting.

Won't this thing work for me???

Thanks & Regards,
