Old newsgroup messages will not delete after x number of days

Thanks for the tips, link and advice Bruce (and others in this thread), much appreciated and I think I have a better understanding of what is going on now. Seems it is all to do with the automatic compacting that used to be done in the background on 98SE whereas now it is less frequent and ideally needs to be done by the user at regular intervals. I will see how I get on with that - I did a compact last night and all seemed to go okay. Plus, having the ability to delete messages is very handy! 1. "Compact messages in the background" was removed in OE6/WinXP SP2. 2. Even when "Compact messages in the background" was present and enabled, the two Delete options you cited would delete downloaded messages only, not the headers. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE, OE, Security, Shell/User) AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net DTS-L http://dts-l.net/
