I'm trying to join a few newsgroups twice on two different news servers.
Outlook Express 6 with SP2 basically goes mad when I try to do this. I sure
I used to be able to do this and separate .DBX files were created in the
store folder however now I find OE is trying to use the same .DBX files for
both groups and gets itself in a right mess. How can I fix this?
