This is an OE5-specific newsgroup (and you're running OE6 in WinXP SP2) on
the MS (free) newsserver so we don't know squat about your ISP-provided
newsgroups or subscription policies. That being said, if your subscription
has a download limit, your news.bigpond.com newsgroup usage most likely is
included in this limit.
