Use a proper newsreader and turn off your capslock instead.
nntp://msnews.microsoft.com/

There's that echo again
For goodness sake put it in the correct format so it can be opened in OE

can't understand correctly formed URLs, this is an Outlook Express bug that
needs to be fixed, not something the rest of the world should work around.
