Fix for Outlook Express
If you use Microsoft Outlook express to view newsgroups on programming and you get sick of it turning //… to file:// visit this page http://chattanooga.net/~scochran/hyp.htm to download a fix for the problem. It can get quite annoying otherwise when people forget to insert spaces between // and the first words of their comments.

BORLAND NEWSGROUPS
For posting messages to Borland newsgroups
Snipped from a newsgroup post by Jack Klein.
Did you post to Borland’s groups on their own servers? They don’t accept posts from other servers, even though it might appear that your message shows up there on your ISP. Go to http://www.borland.com/newsgroups to see how to post a message to the Borland groups.
