I'm trying to post a message to the stationery news group.
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress.stationery
I've subscribed but when I try to send a message I get an error message that
says "Message could not be sent. No sender(that's me) was specified. Check
your account configuration." How do I configure the account?
 
It seems you aren't using newsgroups but MS's web portal to them. At least for this post but you give a news link??????

If you are using IE go Tools - Accounts - Properties and fill in your email address.
 
Open Outlook Express and check the server information. The server is
msnews.microsoft.com. It does not require a log-in, i.e. it is a public
server.

Next, add an e-mail account.you can use one that your Internet provider made
available to you or any
other that has pop/SMTP servers. The e-mail account will be used to send
your messages to the news host.

For more details, check

Let us know.

Click to expand...

In OE go to Tools | Accounts and double click the account. Make sure that
Name is filled in and that Email Address has a valid entry.
