I'm a bit confused here. First you say the list wasn't created, then
you say you've already created it with the newgroup. If the
pseudonewsgroup has already been created, the mail should be there in
the list (you say you can see mail being filtered to it.) It sounds
to me like you just can't see the newsgroup you created. Try hitting
your <insert> key at the article selection screen and see if the
list/newsgroup you created is in the unsubscribed list (you'll
probably see both of the groups you created, at least.) Newgroup
doesn't subscribe you automatically the same way adding a new
newsgroup to your newsrc will. If that doesn't work, let me know and
we'll try other ideas.
