Hi Ron,

Thanx for your reply.
Just curious as to how regulars to Newsgroups "manage" their watched status.
I mean your display name is "Ron Sommer" in From line. So, dont you resort
to the automatic flagging feature. Isnt this process of finding and then
putting them on watched status a little too...

Would anybody have macros for doing this. (OE being controlled through MS
outlook - please correct me if my understanding is wrong)

Thanks a lot,
