I am attempting to post a reply to a newsgroup with Bellsouth.net. I have
contacted Bellsouth Tech Support and my settings are correct. They say that
they use port 119 for newsgroup mail and the newsgroup is not accepting from
that port. I deleted the Bellsouth newsgroup account and re-installed and
re-subcribed to 3 different newsgroups and got the same error 0x800CCCA9 from
all three attempts - tried it different times. This is the error message.
Help!

In Windows Mail go to Tools, Options, Send, News Sending Format,
make sure Plain Text is selected, then click on its Plain Text Settings
button. Select Uuencode, click OK.
