not quite a gardening question !

You can't always remember the context and won't always bother to change views to check. Ok. It's indeed a good way of going about responding to post. However, and please don't get mad at me, I don't understand why you hide your 'read messages' viewer when it precisely let you know what you've read or not. Why do you scroll through pages and pages of already read stuff and don't just go to the highlighted ones you haven't read? This thread is minute compared to some others. What do you use? She is using Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.2180 She uses common sense and hides read messages. Wot 'e said. I don't know about other newsreaders but with OE it seems to me much less unwieldy to have only unread posts in view, especially if subbed to several large groups. This group's a bit quieter at the moment (altho' it can be very busy at other times of year) but in others there can be literally hundreds of new posts a day to wade through. Yes new ones are highlighted but it's much simpler to have all previously read stuff hidden to be able to quickly see which threads have been added to and which, if any, to skip, who's posted and whether I've had a response to anything of my own etc. -- Sue |
