Re: newsgroup replies

You were using CDO because you couldn't see your replies?

To Show Replies to your Messages hit Ctrl + H. Hit Ctrl + H again to Show
All Messages.

Or...
To view only replies to your newsgroup messages
On the View menu, point to Current View, and then select Show Replies to my
Messages.

To group messages and their replies
When many people participate in e-mail and newsgroup conversations, the
replies to a given message can be hard to track. You can set up Outlook
Express so that message replies are grouped under the original message. You
can then choose to view only the original message, or the message and all
its replies.

• When you are in either your Inbox or a newsgroup, on the View menu,
point to Current View, and then select Group Messages by Conversation.

• To display expanded conversations for all messages, on the Tools
menu, click Options, click the Read tab, and then select Automatically
expand grouped messages.

Note
• To display the original message and all replies to it, double-click
the plus sign ( + ) to the left of the original message. To display only the
original message, double-click the minus sign ( - ) next to the message.

• Conversations are grouped according to the title of the original
message. For example, if the message that starts a conversation is titled
"Ideas for using Outlook Express," all replies to that message will be
titled "RE: Ideas for using Outlook Express."

To use views to read messages
Outlook Express has default views that you can use to avoid having to create
custom views.

On the View menu, point to Current View, and then click one of the following
options:

• Show All Messages.
This view shows all the messages in one of your folders, such as your
Inbox--new and old, read and unread.

• Hide Read Messages.
This view hides all the messages you've read, leaving only the
messages you have not read.

• Show Downloaded Messages (use only with IMAP and newsgroups).
This view displays the messages that were most recently downloaded
from the server.

• Show Replies to my Messages (use only with newsgroups).
This view displays only messages that are replies to a message you
posted on a newsgroup.

• Hide Read or Ignored Messages.
This view hides messages that you have read or that you have applied
the Ignore Conversation command to.

You can also choose to arrange Inbox messages by subject. To do this, on the
Current View menu, click Group Messages by Conversation.
-----

Use the preview pane to view messages
The preview pane lets you view message contents without opening the message
in another window. To preview a message, click its title once. To open it in
its own window, double-click the title.

You can position the preview pane either below the message list or beside
it; you can choose to display or hide the message header; or you can hide
the preview pane entirely.

1.. On the View menu, click Layout.
2.. In the Preview Pane area, select the options you want and then click
OK.

Note
• To resize the preview pane and the message list, point to the divider
between them until you see a double arrow, and then drag the divider up or
down.

View only unread news messages in a newsgroup
• Open the newsgroup. On the View menu, point to Current View, and then
click Hide Read Messages.

It Worked with your reply, but outlook express is my default newsreader.

Do yourself a favor and setup a real newsreader.

Outlook Express came free with XP.

You will later wonder why you didn't setup OE as your newsreader
sooner.
