You can't do that in OE.
The news server should not have 2 newsgroups that differ by case. There should be just one newsgroup with all the messages. Internet standard require that they not be case sensitive. RFC 977 - Network News Transfer Protocol 2.3. Commands Commands and command parameters are not case sensitive. That is, a command or parameter word may be upper case, lower case, or any mixture of upper and lower case. 3.2.1. GROUP Note that the name of the newsgroup is not case-dependent. It must otherwise match a newsgroup obtained from the LIST command or an error will result. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm wrote in message ... 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? |
