Steve,

Ok, I just did that, but it makes me wonder how big my message database will
get. Now, if I go for a few days without checking a particular newsgroup,
it downloads a very large number of messages instead of the 300. I currenty
subscribe to 14 newsgroups (OE, Word, Access, IE, XP, etc.) but usually
don't regularly check them ... only when I have a need to solve a particular
problem. Is this going to quickly fill up my hard disk since I have no
limits on how many messages to download?

Tom
