graphics\howbutt.gifAccessing newsgroups

Corel LINUX provides a news client called Newsgroups. Using Newsgroups, you can read articles posted on the newsgroups. Newsgroups lets you specify a news server, connect to it, and access the newsgroups on that server. You can download articles from the newsgroups that are on the news server to which you are connected. You must know the address of a news server to connect to it.

Connecting to a news server lets you see a list of all the newsgroups on that server. The newsgroups are titled according to subject. Opening a newsgroup lets you view a list of the articles posted to that newsgroup. You can read the articles in a newsgroup or open another newsgroup.

You can post articles to a newsgroup or respond to articles. You can post an article to the newsgroup, simultaneously respond to the author with a private email, or respond with only a private email. You can also forward an article using email. You must set your SMTP server (mail server) so that you can post, send, forward, and receive articles using email.

You can search for a newsgroup on a server using the newsgroup name. You can also search for an article in a newsgroup using keywords.
