SYMPTOMS

When you select a new number of newsgroup headers to download at one time, it appears that the setting is not changed.

CAUSE

Newsgroup filters are applied to message headers at the time they are downloaded. Because those messages in the current view have already been downloaded, the filters are not applied until you initiate another download of message headers.

RESOLUTION

To download the message headers again:

  1. On the Tools menu, click Download This Newsgroup.
  2. Click to select "Get the Following Items."
  3. Click to select New Headers, and click OK.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
