I have the problem also.

My solution is edit your 'newsrc' files in your mailing directory.

 I actually download the one used in Unix account and
 modify to conform to their syntax.

You should find your mailing network directory  (See their online documentation).  It may  be
 under your login network directory or some sub-dir below that.

The filenames are news.grp,  news.ini and news.prm.  You have to edit your files to
conform to the syntax if you download your 'newsrc' and want to use that.
I have done that and it is not difficult.  But be ware of where they want to update it.

BTW, try to use winvn.  IMHO, it is much much faster.  I drop the trumpet newsreader
after I found the winvn by reading an article posted by Svein S. Karlsen in this
newsgroup.  Thanks to Svein.
