I'd be grateful for advice and it would probably help the group if it is
emailed to me. I see that I have, say 12 messages to read but having read
9 of them, cannot access the last 3. Does anyone know what that is and what
I should do about it?
And I can't figure out how to delete read ng messages from hanging round on
my screen for days or weeks after I've read them.
Any (good) advice will be gratefully received.

HOW DO I LIMIT THE NUMBER OF POSTS TO DOWNLOAD FOR THE NEWSGROUPS? There
are two ways to do this: 1) Via the Accounts News window, then click on
the Options tab, and enter a number in the Get xxx headers at a time box.
You can put any number from 1 to 10,000 in it. Limiting the number of
messages Outlook Express should download, is listed under the Server
Options header.
2) Via Rules News tabbed window. Create a rule that
applies specifically to a newsgroup - see the top pop-up menu in a rule
setup window. Then create a instance in the If section, that goes like
this: Date Sent - Is Greater Than - xx days. In the Then section, set it
to Do not show article. This picture shows you how to setup a date limit
for one newsgroup only. You can create a Rule for an individual newsgroup
or one that applies to all newsgroups, if you wish - see the Newsgroup
pop-up window for the various options available.
