hey guys,
salams,
i'm trying to add a newsgroup to my unix email acccount which i access thru pine.
some screenshots of my unix pine session (sorry abt the extra white space):
pine main screen:

when i click on the Folder List (as in picture above) I get to this folder list. (Two folder names are whited out). I remember that before I used to get two links one for folder list and then a link for newsgroups below. I don’t get that anymore. I might have accidentally deleted some file in my main shell, I’m not sure.

When I try to send the email to the newsgroup, I get this error.

here is what a **ls -la** command at the main unix shell yielded:

Would you have any idea what I need to do to be able to:
1) see the newsgroup in my folder list area so I can read the emails on it
2) access (send email to) the newsgp
I was able to do this before but I think I might have erased some configuration file b/c of which I can't do it now.
If posting the contents of any of the files/folder hierarchies I have in my directories (other than Mail 
) help then plz let me know.
Thanks :-)

genius in da house!
