I would still like to understand better when CatchUp is useful but I did fix
my problem. I deleted the newsgroup, closed and reopened OE, resubscribed
and this time did NOT 'CatchUp'

I'm setting up my newsgroups on a new computer. I chose 'CatchUp' without
knowing what it REALLY did. Now when I try to download more messages I
only get new messages, can't get any older ones.
For future reference, what did I do? And is there a way to UN-do the
Catch-Up after I selected it?
Thanks in advance
