Ya, I meant the actual usenet, not the groups... just the web
interface at Google refers to it as Google groups. Since the OP was
talking about using the Google web interface to post here... I figured
it was assumed (but we all know what happens there).

Yep, now back to the 2nd poster comment to use Outlook Express... can
it be configured to download Usenet posts from the free service
provided by Google?

In the end, the gist of my comment was I don't believe you can
configure Outlook Express to pull from Google to download Usenet
groups. Therefore the solution provided by the 2nd poster would not
resolve the issue.

good hunting...
