Move the messages in each newsgroup folder to a user created Local
Folder and you will then be able to use Import.

Well, I should have paid more attention to a proper method to backup
my IE6 stuff. I did in fact save the store folders in the identity
files- several were there including one for each of several old
email addresses and one set up just for newsgroups.

At first I thought I could just drop them all into the freshly
formatted hard drive's location for the identities for IE 6- but
that didn't work. So, I created new identities, then copied all the
files in the old identities into the new identity's folder. This
worked fine accept for the newsgroups.

I had printed out http://www.insideoe.com/backup/ some months ago
and on that print out I see that newsgroups can't be imported. I see
that currently at that URL, a new clone method is available.

So, yuh, when I tried copying newsgroup files from that identity
into a new identify, the appeared to copy over, at first, but can't
be seen in the new identify, then they vanish from the window
showing the files in the new identity.

At this point, is there any easy way to restore my long list of
newsgroups? It's not that big a deal, I can simply resubscribe one
at a time, but I had subscribed to several dozen.

Thanks to Tom Koch for his web site.
