Thank you very much for the suggestion.

After receiving the following reply from my ISP:

[[This is with reference to your mail, please note we do not support
news group servers for e-mail configuration through Outlook Express.
Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused in this
regard.
Thank you for giving us an opportunity to serve you.

So feeling chocked I changed my ISP now and am back to newsgroups
through the news readers in (netscape/OE) and in fact I am now replying
you through the Netscape newsreader.
