Unread message count
When I log in in the morning, the number of unread message in a newsgroup
(any newsgroup) is shown as, say, 900 but, on refreshing that number is reduced to, say, 200.. Just out of curiosity, what is happening here? Regards. Bill Ridgeway

Just out of curiosity, what is happening here? Regards. Bill Ridgeway When checking mail on the assigned schedule OE gets an estimate of the number of new messages based on the latest message ID in the DBX file for the newsgroup and the latest message ID on the server. Once you enter the newsgroup it downloads the headers and gives you the correct number. The estimate can be way off especially if you access a different server on a server farm and they are out of synch. -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM http://www.fjsmjs.com Answer in newsgroup. Don't send mail.

Just out of curiosity, what is happening here? Regards. Bill Ridgeway You are most likely set to download x00 messages at a time rather than all messages, and to download NEW headers. As a result, OE only downloads new headers, not the older but still unread ones. You can either click Catch-Up to remove them all, or, after you've marked an All Read, leave the group, come back to it, and click Headers in the top menu; that will download older headers. Or, remove the restrictions on download New Headers only. It's all in the Tools, Options. HTH Pop`
