Who provides your NNTP service? I have 'nf.wanted' and 'nf.general' in my
list of groups. The first carried by both 'news.sf.sbcglobal.net' and
'news.motzarella.org'. The second only by 'news.sf.sbcglobal.net'.

You need to configure Windows Mail to use your NNTP service provider's news
host. The name is often, but not always, in the format, 'news.example.com'.

Cross posting to the Windows Mail group.

I see them both in 'news.motzarella.org' Norman?

OP:
Go here http://www.motzarella.org/ it is a free news server, but you have to
register, and they send you the set up instructions by email so use a real
address to register, then use a munged address in the account setup process.
