Post to Write-only group with Entourage

[Flipper]

Does anyone know how I do this>

With outlook express I would just drag a word doc to the icon for the
newsgroup (University of Phoenix Online) and OE would create a new
posting to that group with the file attached. Then I click send/post &
boom it's done.

In Entourage I can't drag-n-drop & I can't create a new posting & type
in teh name of the group. I think it's confused because I don't have
read access to that group. But there has to be a way right?

Thanks a lot,

Phillip C.

You can manually enter a new news server address in the 'to' field of a
newsgroup posting.

Select 'News Message' from the 'New' submenu of the File menu to create a
new news message without any address, and type the newsgroup address in the
'to' box.

If you do this on a regular basis, I'd write a script to create the window
and set the address up automatically - such a message could then be created
by choosing the script from the script menu or hitting a keyboard command:

property newsgroupAddress : "microsoft.public.test.here"
property postingSubject : "Your Message Subject"
tell application "Microsoft Entourage" to make draft news window with ¬
properties {recipient:newsgroupAddress, subjectostingSubject}
