I don't always explain things as well as I should. When I download
newsgroup files I only keep them for 45 days because of space issues.
How
would I search on the files that are older than the 45 days that are
still
on the news server?
(Exp) I keep having the (xx) not downloaded happen when I download. I
found
the answer to this by going on the server and searching
the newsgroup using the (xx) not downloaded. How would I do this from
Outlook Express without going on the server with the browser? I'm sure
this
is about as clear as mud now.

Tom you can't do that, bar resetting a group and re-downloading, even then
the MS server only retains messages for 60 days, some of the busier groups
only retain for 30 days.
Your best bet is to use the Google archive of news posts etc:
http://www.google.com/advanced_group_search?hl=en
Use each of the search options wisely.
HTH?

As mac indicated, search Google groups, as many servers don't have retention
time over 45 days (this one is 60, I think).
