No, newsgroups are not recoverable without a lot of effort and strict
adherence to a particular process.

You cannot "restore" old DBX newsgroup files and expect them to be
recognized by Outlook Express. Newsgroup subscriptions and the associated
DBX files for them are keyed to specific identities and those that are
readable in one identity are not readable in another identity unless you
have "cloned" your system as outlined at this website:

Please deliver feedback to the newsgroup, so that others can be helped.
Thanks.

Does the information given the last few days apply to trying to recover
corrupt news group file as well? When I tried to follow the import
procedures I did not get offered newsgroups to copy to, only "Inbox, Send
Items, etc.
