In order to Bypass Garee's post I just exit Outlook Express
then start it up again. After I've read all the posts, I go to
Edit and then Mark All as Read. Garee's post is no longer
highlighted. I know it's a long way around the problem but it does work.

What a mix-up! On Outlook Express the size of the post is on
the far right. I checked when I saw the Garee's post was taking
far too long to download. That was the culprit - 984KB.
Much too large to be sending on rec.ponds.
The links that Michael Schaffer sent were just that... Links.
No pics which is the way we should actually send our pics.

John, some news servers do not accept JPGs GIFs or BMPs over a certain
size in text only news groups. I didn't get the picture either, and I
suspect that's why. Also, if your news reader is set to only download
text files, it might skip messages which contain anything else (logos,
sigs with pictures, etc.)
