5308 64 mail newsgroup feature

5308-64: Mail/newsgroup feature?

I'm using Outlook Express (or whatever it's going to be called :) to access the msnews newsgroups. I'm only subscribed to the Vista-related newsgroups. However, when the reader checks for new messages, it checks ALL the newsgroups available -- not just the ones to which I'm subscribed.
Is it possible to turn off this behavoir? If you're only subscribed to one group, you shouldn't have to wait for it to check for new messages on dozens of other groups just to see yours...

Known bug.

Well, if you mean when you click on the "title" of the newsgroups in the left pane (on mine I've renamed it to "Public Vista NG's"), when you click "Synchronise Account" on OE6 on XP SP2, it does the same thing.
I
guess this is expected behaviour.
