Is there a newer version of OE than 6? On this particular laptop I'm
running XP Home. Also, I've always preferred OE as a newsreader over the other options, eg Agent, Thunderbird, Mozilla, etc. I wonder though if there is a different way to set OE so that I know when new contributions have been made to watched threads. I like the way that OE highlights the name of the newsgroup (turns it bold red) when there is new content, but this doesn't appear when the cursor is already on that newsgroup name. For example, I can go to "microsoft.public.windows.initexplorer.ie6_outlook express" and get all the new headers. But I don't know if watched threads have new content because that newsgroup is currently highlighted by the cursor (ie in focus). The red/bold displaying of the newsgroup name isn't visible unless I've choosen another newsgroup. Then and only then can I see that a different newsgroup has new content. I hope that makes sense. Any ideas? Thanks. |

You have the newest version of OE, but it appears that you are missing one
update. Check that out. I think I got what you're saying, and there is nothing you can do about that. One thing you could do is in View | Sort By, change it to Watch / Ignore ant all your watched messages will be at the beginning of the list, and the rest sorted by date as I assume they are now. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA "jch" wrote in message . ..

Any ideas? Thanks. When your cursor is on the name of the group, watched threads should show in bold red if they contain unread messages, and non-bold read if all messages in the thread have been read. It's been working this way for me for the entire three years I've been using OE. |

Any ideas? Thanks. One more thing: The behavior I described only works if the thread is collapsed. So, let's say you're watching a very long thread whose messages scroll past the bottom of the window, *AND* you've got that thread expanded. The first message in the thread will NOT be bold read, even if messages further down in the thread are unread. As soon as you collapse the thread, the first message will show in bold red to indicate that there are unread messages SOMEWHERE in the thread. Look in Tools, Options, Read. 2nd option: Automatically expand grouped messages. Is that checked? If yes, UNcheck it. |
