You configured the news account to be included in the polling interval that
you also configured in OE. You could disable that news account from being
included in the configured polling interval but then you will have to do the
refreshes yourself.

OE has a long-time behavior of jumping back to the top when polling for new
messages when you have scrolled down in a post. You're stuck with that
behavior in OE. It's one of the reasons why I trialed other newsreaders.

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? ; }

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.

That is not the *poll* interval which is not at all hard to find. Just go
look at the options. It's right on the FIRST tab that is shown to you. Now
slap your forehead.

I read the below comment by poster VanguardLH in
internetexplorer.general newsgroup.

"I've had 72 tabs open but ran out of memory (they weren't text-only
pages) before IE starting getting overly slow probably due to excessive
paging. However, you can hit web pages that deliberately attempt to
consume your CPU and bandwidth by doing refreshes at very short
intervals or by constantly downloading streams of new content (even if
YOU don't see a change in the page because the new content looks just
like the old content). Even with just a couple tabs open, having
visited one of these rude busy-making pages can make opening other tabs
very slow or using the other tabs for already opened pages."

Concerning - "by doing refreshes at very short intervals"

Question: I use Outlook Express 6, to read newsgroups, can the message
refresh rate be extended or shortened as desired, if so how?


You can hit F5 to refresh the group you are in, or click out and then
click back in, anytime you want.

Yes. And your messages are screwed up because it looks like your Reply is
part of my Reply because of the way the characters are inserted.

While you read a post, the fact that your reader goes out to get more
messages should not disturbe the post you are reading, but you can click
TOOLSOPTIONS, and in the Send and Receive Messages section, increase the
time between checking for new messages. Longer delays are usually better. I
have my refresh rate set to 30 minutes. If I want to check sooner, I simply
click on the Send/Receive button.

In this case I believe the OP chose those two groups IIRC. It's not
unusual since it's a "general" group and IE/OE go together up to 6.
We do have a do-gooder in our midst that likes to decide what groups need
to see a post, and often adds to a cross-post but in this case I think he's
innocent.
