Hi there,

I am having a problem with old newsgroup messages in Outlook Express 6 on
Windows XP SP2.

I have these settings in Tools Options Maintenance set;

[Ticked] Delete read message bodies in newsgroups.
[Ticked] Delete news messages 2 days after being downloaded.

The messages do not go, they hang around forever!!!

Have also tried the Windows repair thing (Start Run sfc /scannow press
ENTER.) as per MS's site and that did nothing, not even a message, but took
a good 10 minutes or so to run.

Nothing seems to have made a difference and yet everything else works fine.
Except one newsgroup (even though I have clicked 'Catch Up') still tries to
download *all* the thousands of messages every now and then!?

Can anyone help me please?
