I am sure I'm being very stupid about this and that there must be a way to clear read messages off my screen but I can't find the way to do it. It's never been an issue before so I'm not sure where to start. You'll nedd to work through all your menus, option by option until you find one that looks as though it will clear the messages. The problem is the menu trees aren't always in a logical order, and its not always obvious which options will be on which menus or what the options wil actually do. this is from an Entourage Newsgroup quote If you're in Entourage X, you can clear ALL with a preference in Mail & News-Compose-Clear List button, but the list will fill up again. This option is not available in 2001. /quote I'm not sure if that makes any more sense than what's gone before. But as I've noted in the other post the fact that your NewsGroup options are greyed out in the menu (from memory) seems rather strange. michael adams .... -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon ) |

This mightn't be all that obvious, depending on how many windows you have open at once. But the fact that the NewsGroup settings are greyed out doesn't seem very satisfactory to me, at least. I don't know why they're greyed out and had simply assumed it was because those bits weren't to be used while in newsgroup reading mode. I use Eudora for both mail and newsgroup, atm. I am going to be getting someone up soon to look at my computer and a friend's but can't do so until the end of the month as she's away. My Mac mail program suddenly decided to pack up a while ago, too, so perhaps this computer is just having a quiet and stealthy nervous breakdown! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon ) |

See if you have anything relating to subscribing to urg, perhaps under a 'general properties' type heading, and look for an option to change the length of time that you keep posts before deleting them. You monitor urg pretty regularly so you could set that down to 24 hours or less. -- Kay |

I'm sure this is my failure but I just cannot find the damned thing. Of course, the other possibility is that given the computer's temperamental behaviour at present, whatever-it-is is just not working, or showing up. Or something. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon ) |
