I recall using Outlook Express earlier to view my messages/threads
in this newsgroup. Recently I installed Vista, and finally got
tired of the web interface, so I'm reading my messages in Windows
Mail. I can d/l messages all right, and mine come out red (instead
of the default black)--

That's strange. Could it be that you are using a *rule* which colors
your own postings?

but there are so many replies every day. How can I keep
Windows Mail from showing me every single reply to every single
message that comes into this group? I really only want to view mine.

Do you really want to filter out everything but just your own
postings? Di you really filter away all if the replies you received
for your postings/questions?

What you want to have can easily be done by defining a view for
filtering on your own postings.

For a very long time (since early OE) I have been using the
following:

a) Create a rule
- condition: message contains <myname> in the field "from";
- actions:
* mark it with the color green
* and mark as read
* and mark the message as watched
(sorry if the wording is not 100% correct, it's my translation from
German).
This rule also has the effect that all replies in my posting are
marked as "watched".

b) Create a view
View | Current View | Define Views
condition: message contains <myname> in the filed "from";
action: show
name: My stuff

By selecting the view from the drop-down list "Views" (right corner
of the tool-bar) or from the menu View | Current View you can filter
for your own stuff.

In addition I am using another view called "Watchdog" based on
messages being marked to be watched.

This way it's just a clock in the drop-down list and selecting
"Watchdog" or "My stuff" to see only what I want.

HTH
If any further question, pls ask.
