You would need to create an account for each news server and then download
the desired messages into a newsgroup.dbx file under that account. You
would not be able to have one group work with two different servers. How
the server lists the newsgroup is up to the server involved and is not user
changeable. Sorry.

How can I subscribe to alt.windows-xp on certain news servers?
some news servers carry both:

alt.windows-XP 0000000689 0000000622 y
alt.windows-xp 0000041454 0000039481 y

The 'XP' group is listed first on certain news servers, and OE doesn't
show the latter newsgroup in the list because it isn't case sensitive.
This isn't a problem on most other news servers either because the
uppercase group isn't carried, or if it is, the lowercase group comes
first on the list, and so OE shows that one and not the other.

alt.windows-xp 0000068297 0000068000 y
alt.windows-XP 0000001408 0000001390 y

When I add an account for a server that lists the lowercase group
first, I can subscribe to it, and the uppercase group is not shown.

But I want to subscribe to the lowercase group on news servers that
have the uppercase group coming first in their lists.

Can I edit a Outlook Express file and replace XP with xp?
