Hello all,
I've just started having an odd problem with OE news postings on one
machine (this one, my laptop running XP Pro). It's got all the updates and
IE7.

I have subscribed to several newsgroups, and let's say that I open OE, go to
a newsgroup, and it downloads 300 messages - so there are 300 unread
messages. I read one, so there would be 299 unread. I might mark it as
read, or the timer might look after that. Or, from a new check, I read
none at all.

If I then go to another group, and come back, I will find that
*all* messages have been marked as read.

I've just tried moving all the group .dbx files to another folder, so that
they would be re-created and messages would be re-downloaded, but I get
exactly the same result.

This has been happening for a few days now.

I wonder if anyone would know what might be causing this?

Thanks,
Patrick Keenan
