Heres a link to a page that explains the matter;
http://members.aol.com/emailfaq/mungfaq.html

The general idea of what to do is;
From 'Outlook Express', Click 'Tools' on the menu bar, Click 'Accounts...',
Select 'News' tab
Highlight account your concerned with (maybe only one)
Click 'Properties' button, Select 'General' tab (probably allready selected)

In the box titled 'E-mail address' you need to change your real e-mail
address to something like;
lid, which will completely hide your e-mail address (note; 'a' and
'b' can be whatever you want). The only thing this dialog box will insist on
is the '@' character.

Please use a TEST group to post test messages.

The purpose of *test* newsgroups is to allow users to test
their news software and servers without annoying others.

In that case, your address will have to remain as it is now;
<>

Really? Check out my addy. I use OE 6.
I've never had a problem muning addy's.
OE could care less what you use. Just so long as the format is valid.
will work.
but if you try sucker @ foo.bar , it won't.

Wonder if this will work.......lets see...Light Blue Touch Paper and
retire.......
