Is there any way to get OE6 to display the number of articles in the
newsgroup subscriptions box (or anywhere else for that matter)?
Maybe. Try an experiment? Open your list of subscriptions for
a news account (e.g. from one newsgroup press Backspace) and press
F5 (Refresh). What happens?
Yuck. All that does is Refresh the list of newsgroups.
(The equivalent of Ctrl-w,Alt-R) Who knew?
However, I was on the right track. Just wrong command.
The right command is Synchronize Account.
(E.g. click on that button or press Alt-T,n)
Then, provided all your subscriptions are marked Don't Synchronize
(e.g. unchecked in that display) you will get a warning message
that there is nothing to Synchronize but you will get the latest estimate
from the 211 Group reply for each of your subscriptions.
BTW this information is also given by the OE troubleshooting log.

Where does one find the OE troubleshooting log?
Thanks again
