I don't know how to use Outlook Express. I've been writing on Usenet
for 10 years, mainly on the fr.* hierarchy. I use Forté Agent, which is
not "multi-servers". My default news server in Forté Agent does not
offer "alt.support.cancer.breast". This is why I recently started using
Outlook Express to be able to write on "alt.support.cancer.breast". I
can manage, but will probably goof again.
Apologies for this and all my future blunders.

May I make two recommendations:
That you contact your news provider and ask that they carry this group.
The only way groups get added is if people ask for them.
That Mozilla Thunderbird is a good mail/news browser, in my view better
than Outlook Express (more secure for one thing), and it is free,
being a community-built project. See www.mozilla.org

Hi Monique,
I see that Tim already told you how to get the newsgroup. I use Free
Agent, which is Forté Agent "lite".
I worried about the staple removal too, but it didn't hurt - just a
little pinch.

Monique, I also use Agent and it is multi-server (sort of). It can't
hit multiple servers at the same time, but I have seven different
Agent configurations for different servers and different groups of
newsgroups on the same server. Here's what you do - this is from
Agent's help file.
"To set up Agent for multiple users or servers:
1. Create a separate data folder for each user or news server
(e.g., c:\agent\his and c:\agent\hers). This folder will store the
databases for the new instance of Agent.
2. Copy file AGENT.INI from the original data folder to the
folder you created in step (1).
3. Create a shortcut for each user or news server with the
program (e.g., c:\agent\agent.exe) specified as the Target, and the
user's or news server's folder (e.g., c:\agent\his and c:\agent\hers)
in the "Start in" field."
Hope this helps -
