Outlook Express 6.0: Reading news offline
 

Hello all!

I have a problem with offline news reading, that I didn't
found in the archives.

The problem is, that I don't have an own internet access.
I mainly use the connection of my parents, who are using WinXP.

I'm using Linux and Win2000 at home and would like to download
my prefered usenet and google groups here at my parents,
carry them home (USB Stick), and read them with OE 6 under
Win2000.
Also, I would like to read them under Linux.

Wenn I copy the .dbx file into the OE directory ,OE either crashes
or it tells, that it can't read the inbox.

Can anybody tell me what's wrong here?
Any suggestions how to fix it, or which alternatives I have?

Regards
Mirko
