Folders?
 

Is there a way to make newsgroup folders? I don't readily see that. Many
newsgroups have related topics but aren't close alphabetically. It would be
nice to be able to make folders (eg computers, networking, home repair,
auto, browsers, etc) and put these groups in them. Can I do that in OE?

No. You could create separate identities for certain groups, but in one
identity, WYSIWYG.

You can list a news server more than once.
Make a new news account for your existing server and give it a friendly name
of Horses. Use that account to subscribe to all the newsgroups about
horses.

Right. I can do this. Short of folders I suppose this is the next best
thing.

Please provide one example of one newsgroup that deals with subjects as
diverse as home repair, cars and computers. I'm asking because something
doesn't sound right here.

You're correct. Something isn't right here but it's your interpretation of
my post that is incorrect. My point is that there are several news groups
dealing with the same topics. Ex. several dealing with home repair.
Several dealing with cars. So forth and so on. I wanted to keep these
newsgroups dealing with similar topics grouped in a folder appropriately
named. Apparently I can't do that (create folders that is). A workaround
is to create new accounts, name them something obvious like Celluar,
Computers, Networking, ... and then put specific newsgroups in those
accounts.
