If I open Evolution, select preferences -> accounts, create a new a/c
with

servertype = USENET news
server = news.demon.co.uk (demon is my ISP, see
http://www.demon.net/helpdesk/technicallibrary/misc/news/)

then when I click OK (having set my  SMTP etc) it sits there
indefinitely saying "loading" and doesn't produce a lists of newsgroups
