I presently subscribe to just this Microsoft newsgroup.

Whenever I open its folder, the highlighted number (in brackets) after the
group's name, which shows how many messages are unread), will often not
relate to the actual unread messages. For example, the highlighted number
can be 24 but there can be as few as 4 or 5 actual unread messages.

Sometimes, when there are no actual unread messages, there is a highlighted
number showing. If I close the folder and then immediately open it, the
highlighted number will often change to a different number.

Using the "Catch Up" facility does not stop this happening.

It's no big problem, just annoying.

Advice much appreciated.
