    This is in response to some members expressing concerns on missing the
posts on setting up the DML newsgroups with MS Outlook Express. So, with
that said ...

In MS Outlook Express v5:

- open O.E.
- click on <Tools> in the top toolbar
- click on <Accounts>
- click on the <News> tab
- click on <Add> and then <News>
- type in your display name and then email addy

- when prompted for the news server, type in <news.dakota-truck.net>
- place a check mark in the box that says that your server requires you to
    log on
- when you get to the username/password screen, enter dml for both
    - make sure that dml is in lower case
- that's it for this part

- Now the news.dakota-truck.net should show on the left side of your
    window.
- If windows hasn't asked you to download the newsgroups for DML
    yet, double click on the new newsgroup in the left window
- follow the directions for downloading the newsgroups under
    news.dakota-truck.net
- when windows is finished, you'll see the newsgroups dakota-truck
    and dmlofftopic
- double click on both to subscribe
    -I'm not sure if the dmlofftopic is working as of this writing

    Now you're all set to download the messages by clicking on the desired
newsgroup. Also, be sure to get all the headers by clicking on <Tools>
<Get next ??? headers>

If anyone has any questions, throw them out ;-)
