When I exit a news group to read a different one, the unread ones still
show up if I click on the first newsgroup again,and the number of posts
still shows up in bold numbers next to the newsgroup name. I want the
unread posts in a newsgroup to go away,and the number of posts to not show
up next to the newsgroup name. I can do this by clicking on "catch up",but
it should be automatic as it was when I used Win98SE.
