Equipment: iMac running OS X 10.4.7, Entourage.

After reading the newsgroup messages I'd like to get rid of them so that
they wouldn't be there the next time I open that news group.

Before I changed to 10.4.7 I had set the preferences to NOT display such
messages when I opened the program the next time. Now I can't find a place
to tell it to do that.

How can I set the preferences so that when I have read a message it goes
away?

Thanks for helping.

You might get better help if you post this question to the newsgroup
called news.software.readers - put the name of your newsreader program in
the 'Subject' so that people who are familiar with it will be more likely
to notice your question.

It's right in the header (User-Agent: Microsoft-Entourage/11.2.5.060620) if
you bothered to look. I thought all you Linux guys were smart? (User-Agent:
slrn/0.9.8.1 (Linux))

I'm pretty sure Whiskers does know, but notice his suggestion was to
both post to another group, AND put the newsreader in the subject?

No need to look in the headers, even; the OP mentions it in the 'body' <G>

Regulars in NSR commonly filter or score on the name of the client in the
subject, hence the advice to put the name of the client there.
