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?


Certain newsservers. Uh huh. Stop using those crappy freebie
newsservers that some dumb wannabe NNTP admin setup on their spare
basement computer. Why aren't you visiting the
microsoft.public.windowsxp.* newsgroups if you want to discuss that
topic?
