Hi,

When I performed the test this morning my Outlook Express also assigned
the
two different news servers to the same dbx file.

First I setup, via wizard, both nntp.aioe.org and news.cn99.com news
servers.

Then subscribed to
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlooke xpress
for nntp.aioe.org.

microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlooke xpress is assigned to
(2)
dbx.

Unsubscribed, close, then open Outlook Express, confirm newsgroup and (2)
dbx removed. This time nntp.aioe.org was not removed.

Then subscribed to
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlooke xpress
for news.cn99.com.

microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlooke xpress is assigned to
(2)
dbx.

Then subscribed to
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlooke xpress
for nntp.aioe.org.

This time it's microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlooke xpress
is
also assigned to (2) dbx..

I believe this ) is a bug

Is there a way to report the bug to microsoft by email not by phone

You can find out the name of the dbx file that OE is using by right
clicking on the newsgroup name in the folder list and going to
Properties.
That shows the path to the file.

I don't see the point of your post.
Why would anyone want to subscribe to the same newsgroup under different
servers?
There will only be one newsgroup under one server.
Everything else will just be a mirror of the original newsgroup.
The mirror groups can have different retention times, so if the original
is
available, why use a mirror site?
