Thanks for this. So there is no easy equivalent of what you get in
Outlook
Express (where on the Tools menu there is a command that says "get next
300 headers")?
Sort of, but as far as I know, the dialog only opens, if you try to get
new
headers, and the number of headers available exceeds what you last
selected
as the maximum to download (default 250), for newsgroups on that account.
There is no gui way (that I know of), to force the dialog to open.
Forcing it
to open requires editing the .newsrc file, or figuring out which
incoming##.txt
file is used for that account, and editing that.
Btw. Please use reply, not reply all, when replying to usenet
articles. The
headers of your reply include
To: "David W. Hodgins" <dwhodgins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
which is forwarded to a spamtrap for uceprotect.
Due to spammers/worms harvesting email addresses from usenet articles,
it isn't
a good idea anymore to post using real email addresses, or include
recipients
email addresses in article headers. See my sig, for how to alter the
email
address, if you really do want to contact me by email.
I delete the reply all button from my messages view toolbar.

Thanks for the advice, David. I'm new to using Opera for newsgroups,
having previously used Outlook Express. OE has the choice of Reply (i.e.
reply to sender) or Reply grup for Reply to the group. I assumed that
Reply All was the equivalent of Reply Group, wrongly it would seem.
