To view a newsgroup without subscribing to it

To find out if a specific newsgroup is right for you, read some of the messages within it. When you find newsgroups that interest you, you can subscribe to them for easy access.

1. On the toolbar, click the News groups button.

2. If a News Servers list is displayed, click a server.

3. On the All tab, click a newsgroup, and then click Go To.

Tips

• You can search for newsgroups containing specific words in their titles by typing those words in the Display newsgroups which contain box.

• The first time you view a newsgroup, it may take several minutes to download the messages. The next time you go to that newsgroup, it downloads faster, because Outlook Express downloads only new messages.

• To subscribe to the newsgroup you are viewing, click the Tools menu, and then click Subscribe to This Group.
