Bob, Thanks for your response. I subscribed from the following page: http://support.microsoft.com/support/default.asp?PR=winme&FR=0&SD=GN&LN=EN-U S The list is called microsoft.public.windowsme.new-user. Before, all I did was click on the newsgroup name, and it was in my OE folders. I believe it asked if I wanted to subscribe. It was practically done for me. It is a pretty good newsgroup and helped me out a lot with some of the little oddities of ME. Now, when I click on it, my mailbox opens and a big window informs me of the message I posted. Strangely enough, I get the same message for the AT&T newsgroups. I just can not figure it.
