Your next task is to download the list of newsgroups from your ISP's news server, and to subscribe to those groups in which you have an interest. Be prepared to wait. Depending on the speed of your connection, downloading the list of many thousands of newsgroups can take some time. After you select the newsgroups icon and download the list, click on Subscribe on Messenger 's menu, or right-click on the news server entry in the Message Center dialog, and select Subscribe to Newsgroups . An indicator on the bottom of the dialog will show your progress as you download the complete list of newsgroups.
Groups shown in bold have new messages.
You can also search for newsgroups based on your interests in the Search dialog. For example, if you're an avid news and media fan, go to the Search tab. Your search will likely result in quite a few newsgroups to which you can subscribe. How to Unsubscribe You can unsubscribe to newsgroups by highlighting your choice in the Newsgroup Subscription dialog box and clicking on unsubscribe . When you are finished subscribing to newsgroups, click on OK .
