(incorrect quote level due to poster quoting new material. left as is.)

My post may not have been as clear as i intended, sorry. I'll give a
senario: I have opened a newsgroup and I am reading a posted message and
its accompanying replies. The accompanying replies may contain info that
i wish to make note of, an if its a long post, when the message
refreshes
it jumps back to the beginning of the message and you must scrowl back
down to the point where you were reading. I was wondering if the
interval
of the refresh rate was adjustable?


In addition to the previous comments why not just open the message in its
own window? (Ctrl-o)

BTW I no longer subscribe to OE NG; I saw this in IE.General. Not sure
why it was cross-posted there? ; }


FYI

Thanks to all who were kind enough to answer. I did check under my
Accounts, msnews properties and found my "server timeouts" settings were set
to to the short end at 30sec. I changed them to the long side, 5min. Lets
see what type of change, if any, this makes. Thanks again for the help.
