Subject: nntp derived NEWS -> "empty list"

From: [email-masked] (kersey black)

I am just now trying to turn on the news capability of
Pine, and have done so by just providing the nntp
address.
On one machine, where pine has been running fine, this worked.
On another machine, where pine has been running fine, this
did not.

I get the message:
        [ ** Empty List **  Select Here to Try Re-Expanding ]
when trying to list the news groups.

both machines are using the same server, both are running 3.91.

The debug file reads:
    ---- FOLDER SCREEN ----
IMAP 12:7 3/16 mm_log babble: news.claremont.edu InterNetNews NNRP server INN 1.
4 20-Mar-93 ready (posting ok).

ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.  THANKS

Empty List means you have _not_ subscribed to any newsgroups at all.
Try subscribing to any newsgroup and then that error message will go.

In comp.mail.pine, some queer sunspot activity fomented kersey black to pen:
