Probably turned off the prompt to not subscribe.

Check HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{USER_ID}\Software\Ou tlook
Express\5.0\Don't Show Dialogs and see if ASK SUBSCRIBE is set to 0 or 7

7 is don't show it again.

I use OE6 as a newsreader only. I run WinXP Pro with AVG as my av. I don't
use the newsgroups very much so I don't know how long this has been
happening, but OE6 automatically subscribes me to any newsgroup I visit,
even if I only download the headers, I'm not telling it to subscribe and
their doesn't seem be an option to turn it off. I'm pretty sure this is
something recent. OE never did that in the past. How can I stop the
autosubscribe? TIA.
