Is there a newer version of OE than 6? On this particular laptop I'm
running XP Home. Also, I've always preferred OE as a newsreader over the
other options, eg Agent, Thunderbird, Mozilla, etc. I wonder though if
there is a different way to set OE so that I know when new contributions
have been made to watched threads. I like the way that OE highlights the
name of the newsgroup (turns it bold red) when there is new content, but
this doesn't appear when the cursor is already on that newsgroup name. For
example, I can go to
"microsoft.public.windows.initexplorer.ie6_outlook express" and get all the
new headers. But I don't know if watched threads have new content because
that newsgroup is currently highlighted by the cursor (ie in focus). The
red/bold displaying of the newsgroup name isn't visible unless I've choosen
another newsgroup. Then and only then can I see that a different newsgroup
has new content. I hope that makes sense. Any ideas? Thanks.
