You can set up the newsgroup into your outlook express mailbox; i am not sure if you know that (or if you are posting from the google group website for   alt.support.lupus)
but, by clicking on   news://alt.support.lupus  
(or just paste it into your browser 'IE' address bar and 'go' or enter it)
you should get your OE mailbox to open and start setting up a newsgroup... if you don't know how just ask and people will help you step by step... good luck~

Now my first question is this do I send a reply thru my e-mail or dso I
have to go back to the site each time to reply? Let me know as this is
still new to me.I know all about the sun and the heat as it only makes
me sicker and more flares,so I do much better thru the coler months and
the winter,Tina
