I am just converting from Netscape to Explorer and Outlook Express. After I
look at a newsgroup I used to mark all messages as already read even though
I may only read a few of them. That way the next time I log on only NEW
messages appear in bold (unread). How do I do this with outlook express.

View | Layout | Customize Toolbar. Add the Mark All button.

Kinda/Sorta: Catch Up will mark as Read all messages currently on the
server, including those not yet downloaded. Good if you don't use "Download
