Default microsoft newsgroup help needed

When I get a list of the newsgroups available on this server
(msnews.microsoft.com), the newsgroup titles are truncated and only
partially listed in my newsgroup window.

As an example, when I get to this entry, there are probably 200 listings
that show as: microsoft.public. wind, with the rest of the title line not
showing. So, to find out what they are, I have to go to each one
individually, and then get back out if it's not one I'm looking for.

There's gotta be an easier way.

HELP needed.

Click the newsgroup listing window and press CTRL and + keys together. =
This expands the column and fits to width.

Up top in the gray bar, there is a line between the word Newsgroup and the
word Description. Move your cursor up to that line and drag it to the right.

I think you have a smaller size of the column of the group name and you
don't rach to see the full name. You can modify this moving the slide of the
column to the right side and the full name should appear... I see you're
using OE therefore I don't thnik you can got another kind of problem.
