newbie to outlook news reader looking for how to manage messages

[Ray Tayek]

hi, i need to use outlook on xp at work. i am used to gravity as a
newsreader. so i'm wondering what the paradigm is for dealing with many
newsgroups.

i want to watch many threads. but on high traffic groups, they get lost in
the read messages and will eventually become unavailable.

how can you delete massive number of read messages? (i am afraid they are
being copied over the net to the Profile directory.

does one watch for a while and then copy the thread to a local directory? if
so, does the thread still say watched?

any pointers will be appreciated.

thanks

Since the Outlook newsreader is actually Outlook Express in news only mode,
you will probably get a better answer on an Outlook Express group or site.
