Try reloading your groups list. Sometimes a group seems to disappear, but reloading the groups list
usually fixes this. Outlook Express seems to do this a lot.

In general, it's all or nothing with newsgroups. Either all the ones your server carries are
available, or none -- except for moderated groups, which can have other problems. The only moderated
rec.bicycles group is rec.bicycles.off-road (and it seems to have a lot of those "other problems"😉.
