built 233 days ago
On this tab you can view all the newsgroups that are carried by the news servers you have subscribed to. You can either view all the newsgroups, newsgroups whose name contain a given text, or newsgroups that have been added to the servers since the last time you viewed the new newsgroups.

If your mail agent is UNIX pine, go to pine's configuration page and enter the newsgroups server name in the "nntp-server" field. Further steps of subscribing, reading and posting are intuitive, if you are familiar with pine.

Non-Usenet newsgroups are possible and do occur, as private individuals or organizations set up their own nntp servers. Examples include the newsgroups Microsoft run to allow peer-to-peer support of their products and those at news://news.grc.com.
