I have set up my OE to download a number of Microsoft newsgroups. My question
is that if I select a particular newsgroup, say
microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general and then click Tools-->Get next
1000 headers, I download more messages.

This does not happen with microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general. It stays
at 3243 messages no matter what. Is this because that's all the messages
there are on that particular thread? It doesn't seem logical that it wouldn't
change from day to day. Also, is there a limit to the number of messages on a
thread? Some topics have over 10K messages, so this doesn't make sense eithe

Please do NOT start any more new threads about this in any newsgroup,
Sheana.

If you must make identical posts to multiple newsgroups, please cross-post
one (1) message to all of them. Thank you.

Uncheck Get 1000 headers, then all messages will download.

Ron, I "Get 1000 headers was unchecked". My oldest heading in
microsoft.public. outlookexpress.general is 4/7/2008 and is "cannot open a
..wmv file attachment" from Jimthe bonehead. When I select
msnews.microsoft.com in OE, it has a "Synchronize Account" button as well as
a "Newsgroups" and Settings drop down button. I have no idea how to configure
them and what is the difference except for all, new and headers only. Could
that have anything to do with the problem I'm having?

By default, newsgroup messages are retained on the MS newsserver for 90 days
(i.e., 4/7/2008 through 7/6/2008).

When you open OE General newsgroup tomorrow (i.e., 7/7/2008), all messages
posted on 4/7/2008 will be deleted from OE automatically.

OE can and will only display messages still on the newsserver. If you want
to save one or more messages, you must COPY them to a local OE folder for
archiving.
