Either the MSN support person was smoking banana peels, or I'm an idiot, but
this article does not discuss setting up a mailing list as a newsgroup. It
just describes how to configure Outlook Express 4 and 5 to receive newsgroup
messages from an NNTP server.


I wish it could work, so if anyone knows how to set up OE to think that
Gerry is an NNTP server, please enlighten me.
