	Hi,
I do not think there is any How To for the NNTP/newsgroup accounts. The
only confusing thing is whether to have a sending server or not. The
answer is: no sending server is needed. You can choose sendmail or even
None for it when creating the account.

With respect of the authentication, fill the user name in the Receiving
E-Mail page. I suggest to use encryption for the connection.

With this, when you select a mail in the newsgroup folder (it probably
will not work for those imported from the .mbox format) and press
Ctrl+R to reply to it, the composer will open in a different mode,
showing a "Post To" option instead of To/Cc, prefilled with the
newsgroup the message belongs to. And that's it. When you'll send it,
it'll be posted to the selected newsgroup.
	Bye,
	Milan
