Hi:

What causes all postings not to be in chronological sequence without skips
in dates? I have my Read Options applicable News set to get 300 headers at a
time and I do not get anywhere near that number when I click on a subscribed
Newsgroup.

When I view windowsxp.basics it starts with today's date and stops at
9/19/2007 and then begins again at 9/9/2007 and ends with 7/26/2007. I have
never been able to figure out how to get as many postings as I want and they
all be listed correctly by date without skipping dates etc.

Hopefully somebody can clue me in on what to do to resolve this problem.

Thanks

Hi Pa Bear:

I have the check beside "Show All Messages" and nothing is checked by
"Show Replies To My Messages". My settings are exactly what you recommended.

Any other recommendations to this problem? Should I repost under
outlookexpress.general? I now realize that would have been the applicable
Newsgroup thanks to you. Sorry....

Thanks

Too bad OP didn't crosspost this thread to one of the OE groups originally.

If the missing messages are only a day or so earlier your remedy will
work but it can leave the users with many more messages than they need.
Selecting Tools, Get Next headers once or many times as is necessary can
avoid a large download.
