You are all so helpful, perhaps you can solve some nagging issues that I have relating to reading the Usenet groups.

When I read a posting that I want to keep track of--either because I posted it, or the subject is of great interest--I mark it with the eyeglasses. This makes it easy to follow the thread.

After I read the entire newsgroup, I click on Mark All Read. Then I go back and remark all the eyeglasses posts as Mark Unread. This keeps that conversation intact for the next day. It's this last operation I'd like to avoid. Is there a way of automatically keeping a particular thread from being marked as read until further notice? I realize I could simply not click on Mark All Read, but that results in a rapid increase in the newsgroup size and a lot of detective work to find the new stuff.

Second question:

Is there a way of printing a filename in color at all times? There are some filenames I'd like to always be printed in green. Others in red, and a few in blue. I'd like the color to be part of the filename, so that it follows the name around from place to place. I realize that blue is reserved for certain file names, but I'd like it to be available for any filename. I don't want to change the color of the text in the file--just the filename.

Thanks one and all. This is a great group.

If the conversation is marked as Watched and Outlook Express detects a new post in the watched conversation it will show the newsgroup in red in the Folder List.
