I am new to this and any help with this will be appreciated....

I am using Outlook Express 6 to view newsgroup postings. I have my News
account and under it are listed all the groups that I subscribed to (ie.
alt.binaries.pc, alt.music etc). When I click on one of these groups, a
number appears to the right of the group name in parenthesis. I assume that
number is the number of posts or something like that. Anyway, over to the
right of the screen are the actual e-mail posts that people are sending in.
My question is, why can I only see 50 or 60 posts? What happened to
yesterdays? the day before? last months? etc. I do not have the "delete news
messages" option checked nor do I have the "compact" option checked.

I apologize if this e-mail was hard to understand.

Thanks,

Rosa

In OE ( what you are using ) you can click " tools " " get the next 200
headers "

The only thing is that sometimes the posts are so old that they are no
longer on the news-server....in that case you would have to use Google
Groups ( web )

Download your news from a group then right-click and select 'Catch-up'
Go View>Current view>Show all messages
Go Tools>Options>Maintenance tab and select how many days you want to keep messages before they are deleted

Well then go here

Otherwise be prepared to be cussed out-flamed-shamed-kil-filed-and called
many names of ill-repute. I was once a top poster but now I am found and
see the light. Not because of the flames, but because of this fix site.

Their ethics are a short summary of police ordinances: for them the
most important thing is to be a useful member of the state, and to air
their opinions in the club of an evening; they have never felt the
homesickness for something unknown and far away, nor the depths which
consists in being nothing at all. ___________Soren Kierkegaard
