Here's another doozy deficiency in WLM.

When reading newsgroup messages in OE one only had to read them once.
Messages were marked as read in other newsgroups after they had been read
once in another watched newsgroup.

That does not seem to be the case in WLM -- other copies of the same message
in other newsgroups are NOT marked as read.

Is there some arcane setting in WLM that must be made to correct this
annoying, perfidious and time-wasting deficiency?

Thanks...

Works for me.

I first read your message in
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress where it got
marked as read.

When I went to microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop the message
was already marked as read and hidden since I hide read messages. I had
to show all messages to find your message and reply to it.

If in Tools, Options, Read you have checked to download xx messages at a
time, uncheck that. It's always been problematic, even in OE.

Hmmmmm...

I only want 50 messages to download at a time.

I never had trouble with that in OE -- for 50, 100, 500, 1000 messages and
so forth.

Depends on whether those multiple-newsgroup posts are cross-posted or
multi-posted. If cross-posted, reading in one newsgroup will get the
same article in another newsgroup (which is a link back to one message
shared across multiple newsgroups) to be marked as read - as long as you
have the option enabled to do so. If multi-posted, each copy is a
completely separate message so reading one is unrelated to reading a
complete different message despite the similarity in their content.

Your post is not an issue with Outlook Express which these newsgroups
discuss. I don't have WLM installed anymore. For questions on how to
configure WLM, go ask in the WLM newsgroup:

Provided the newsgroups were "subscribed"
in the same "news account"...
