For me (On IE 5.00), it attempts to open a newsreader, and resolve the group
from the name list available from my news server. This fails, because I'm
at work, and default to internal NNTP servers, which don't port through
usenet groups. However, it should work if you have a news client, and your
news server is configured to receive usenet groups.
