      From: teacherjh@aol.nojunk.com              Sometimes my newsgroup list lists new messages that don't show up. They       are not being filtered out by my filters, they just don't really exist,       yet my counter seems to think they do. They expire after a while.              This seems to happen more when I subscribe to a new group, come back       from a vacation (and have tons of messages waiting) or crash the computer.              Any idea what the ghosts are? Where the counter is stored? Why it       doesn't get reset properly?              Netscape 7.2, Windows 98SE              Jose       --       Money: what you need when you run out of brains.       for Email, make the obvious change in the address.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
