Default The Day After ???

It looks like you're using Windows Live Mail.

I set it up in Outlook Express.

I added the server and set my access rules (id and password).
Then I was prompted to see if I wanted to download the list of newsgroups.

IIRC, I got a small list of newsgroups when I tried to set up the newsserver
without an id/password. I'm betting that happened to you.

If you refresh the list, then search for excel, I bet you'll be ok.

OK Dave, I did that.
When I click on newsgroups and put in excel I get "no matches"
Help an old man figure it out.

Register and you'll get an email to confirm that you're human(!).

Then just use

June 2, 8.00 am and everything running normal.
What's happening ?
Does anyone know ??

I read and post to the MS news groups via msnews.microsoft.com. When I
logged into Thunderbird and clicked the expand ('+' button) to retrieve
new headers, I had several "news group does not exist do you want to
unsubscribe" messages. They are definitely removing groups from *their*
server.

This Excel group seems to be carried by news.eternal-september.org, so
I
will just continue from there.
