Subject: Using Pine for News

Before we begin, I would like to inform you that I have read the 
documention entirely.  

I cannont seem to figure out how to use Pine to make posts to my 
newsgroups.  I'm sure there are some properties I must alter in the Pine 
Setup/Config area, but I do not know what.  I am a rather experience 
computer user, etc, but I cannot seem to figure out this one detail.

When I attempt to send posts to my newsgroup, Pine replys that my 
newsgroup is not validated or something similiar.  In the headers area, I 
press ^R to bring up the advanced header.  Under the newsgroup area, I 
type alt.test to make a test post to the alt.test newgroup, but it fails.

Please reply via post or e-mail as soon as you read this, assuming you 
have the answer.

Stevt, you must set your nntp server to your news server.
Mine is news2.
