If you attempt to post a newsgroup message to an invalid newsgroup name, Outlook Express notifies you that the newsgroup name cannot be resolved and that the message cannot be sent. This results in the message not being sent, and you receive the following error message:

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION
In previous versions of Outlook Express, the invalid newsgroup name is automatically removed from the message and the message is sent to all other valid newsgroups to which the message is addressed. The new behavior requires you to manually remove the invalid newsgroup name and send the message again.
