The only info I was able to find when doing this was this article: http://www.ensode.net/evolution_newsgroups.html However, although I was able to set up this up successfully, when I tried using it I found it very buggy. Some newsgroups wouldn't always update, and I couldn't find any way to tell it to, say, get the next 300 headers. Also, the features for marking and tracking posts were very limited (as far as I could tell). I ended up replacing it with Thunderbird in the end. I wish Novell would get this fixed though. I would really like to be able to post to and monitor newsgroups in Evolution, rather than using a separate application (it's the only thing I use Thunderbird for).
