I believe, that if you go to Tools | Accounts, News tab, then open up the MS
News Server account, there will be a drop-down menu where you can set the
email address you use to post, under Account Settings, Personal Information.
Assuming your phoney address is something like yours with an INVALID or
NOSPAM stuck in the middle, we should all be able to figure out the real
address.

Perhaps you should have posted this question through the web (google or the
MS site)? To avoid possibility of spam?
