Hi Yolanda,

Not to worry! Feel free to delete as many headers and/or messages as you
please. The server still has them available, but the time they are retained
varies from a day to a few months -- depending on the news server in
question.

The number of headers downloaded at any one time can be set in:

Tools, Options, Read tab

If a headers/messages were mistakenly deleted the newsgroup server or
(subscribed)newsgroup can be reset in:

Tools, Options, Maintenance Clean Up Now

First browse to the server name or newsgroup name to be reset.

I hope I didn't do something wrong....it said there were over 6000 posts and
I did a select all then delete and they all disappeared...If I hadn't known
that I was to delete them then they would be taking up a lot of space!.....
