Hi Andrea,

Beyond saying there's a problem with headers I can't be of much help.

The Errors Without Cause or Solution Specified

0x800CCCAC NNTP_HEADERS_FAILED Unable to display headers.
420 No article(s) selected

Can you successfully connect to this newsgroup using NNTP and the Microsoft
server?

OE is suddenly no longer able to download my subscribed newsgroup messages!
HELP... this is the note I get:

420 XOVER 136603902 - 136604100 alt.binaries.fonts
Configuration:
Account: news.bubbanews.com
Server: news.bubbanews.com
User name: drea77
Protocol: NNTP
Port: 119
Secure(SSL): 0
Error Number: 420
Code: 800cccac

Up until a week or 2 ago I had no problems, then I could not access the
groups at all... I would get "Connected" "Authorizing", then numbers would
appear in brackets and then just disappear... and now I get the above
message
after 1 message of 200 gets downloaded...
Any ideas what has happened? I have tried synchronizing - same "error".....
I do not re-call chaning any settings... any clues??
Thanks
Andrea
