Increase Numbers of News Headers
I have tried, without success, to increasers the numbers of news headers
that I cab access using TOOLS OPTIONS READ NEWS and then get X headers at a time. I have inserted 500 as the figure, but I can never open that many even in very popular news groups. It would appear the oldest news header is about 14 days old. Is there a date restriction as well as a numbers restriction for downloading news headers? I would be grateful for any advice on how can I increase the number of headers I can assess or how I can access older headers. Many thanks |

Many thanks Uncheck in the little box to the left of the place you would put the number. This will get all headers. Be aware, however, that not all news servers behave the same. There is no date restriction as such in OE, but news servers will have different retention periods. Once they are gone from the server, they are gone from OE, unless you saved a copy in a user created folder. For older messages that aged from the server, you can search Google Groups. -- Kath Adams MS MVP - Windows (Outlook Express) |
Increase Numbers of News Headers
Hi Kath
I have tried this but it makes no difference, eg. microsoft.public.uk.money only has 17 news headers going back to only 10 Sep 06. How can I trawl headers older than 10 Sep 06? Please confirm you meant 'uncheck' the box as the numbers has now greyed out. Many thanks Brian "Kath Adams" wrote in message ...

Increase Numbers of News Headers
Hi
I have semi-resolved the problem. I have been using my ISP's newsgroup (news.onetel.net.uk) which appears to limit the downloads. When I use 'msnews.microsoft.com' a my news account there isn't a problem. Unfortunately this account does not allow me access to non-Microsoft news groups. Can anyone recommend me the address of a good newsgroup which does not limit the number of news headers? Many thanks. "Onetel News" wrote in message ...

You can have more than one news server (news account). Use the
Microsoft news server for the Microsoft newsgroups and your ISPs for other newsgroups. Pretty much all news servers have some limit on how long they keep messages. I believe the Microsoft server is 60 days. If you need to go far back, most people use Google which you have to do via the web interface. For some other news servers, see: Free and Public Usenet News Servers http://freenews.maxbaud.net/ -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "Onetel News" wrote in message ...
