Should have read the helpfiles to begin with.

I right-clicked and chose "Catch Up" and that fixed it.

but it's only ONE NG out of several?

THIS newsgroup, for example, is one of several that are marked READ

One, or several? Tools | Options | Read. Uncheck: Get XXX headers at a
time. Now right click on the newsgroup name in the folder tree |
Properties | Local File. Now, Reset and go to another newsgroup and then
back to this one. The messages will be downloaded again. Mark them all
Read and see if that fixes it.

When you're done, compact the folder for the newsgroup(s) you did this
for.

WHY?

THIS newsgroup, for example, is one of several that are marked READ
and it stands out as BOLD and all the messages are READ.

This can happen if your desktop icon font is set to bold. Go to:
Control Panel | Display | Appearance | Advanced. In the Item box,
scroll down to Icon and click the *B* once to return the fonts to
normal. Also, the font size should be set to 8. (Mine are Tahoma -
8). OK and Apply.

Why, when I mark READ all of the messages in a NG, does it still
give me a BOLD name for the group?
