      I guess I should add that that's all I did. There's nothing special to
      set up.

        Having to add the news server by first selecting "File->New->Account"
        might qualify as important enough to mention too. ;-)

          OK, ask a stupid question.... I wasn't aware I needed a Usenet account.
          It's simple when you know how.

            ....and if you don't have one, like me, there's always GMane
            (http://www.gmane.org/, nntp://news.gmane.org/).

            Cheers,
