- You don't mention what newsreader you are using. If its RN, then all
- you have to do is type (at the prompt in the reader) "g <newsgroup-name>"
- and it will ask you if you want to resubscribe....
-
- If it's another newsreader, try looking at the help pages. I am sure
- they all offer this feature (unless you are on a BBS type system) and I
- am sure it is well documented in the help pages of the software.
-
- Of course, you can always pull out your favorite editor, and edit your
- .newsrc file (removing the delimiting character preceding the group)
- since it should be in there since you were once subscribed to it.
-
- [be carfule when editing your .newsrc file, because if you mess it up
- bigtime, you will be forced by your newsreader to go through the entire
- long...(long long) list again.
