delete old messages from newsgroups
Hi Folks!
Don't know much about OE..... I use OE to access the MS Excel ngs. I used to use the web interface until they changed it to its current form. Anyhow, I have tens of 1000's of old messages downloaded. I don't need these but I can't figure out how to delete them en masse. I can delete them one at a time but this is obviously an exercise in futility! How can I delete, say, the oldest 10 or 20,000 messages at one time? Thanks Biff

Highlight one, then go to the end and while holding the Shift key, click on
the last message you wish to delete (to highlight them all), then just press the delete key. -- Jim Pickering MVP-Outlook Express/Windows Mail Please reply to newsgroup only so that others may be helped with your feedback.
