Newsgroup Views

[Mike Antrum]

I'm sorry if this is a basic question but I have just moved to MS Office for
Mac and I'm finding newsgroups a real pain.

In Outlook Express, you can view the messages threaded and in 'sent' order.
No matter what I have tried in entourage I cannot do this. The only way it
seems to show newsgroups threaded is in alphabetical order.

I must be missing something really simple here, but I can't find.

Please help before I pull out all my hair,

Regards,

Mike A

Hi Mike,

You're not missing anything. Entourage just won't do it. This is one of
the most requested features for Entourage and we're all hoping it will show
up in a near future version.

Meanwhile, there are several workarounds. Here's my favorite: I read the
newsgroups in Sent (chronological) order. When I get to a post where I need
to see the entire thread, I click on Subject to re-sort alphabetically.
When I'm done with that thread, I return to Sent order.

You can't sort threaded message. Here's from Entourage help:

============================================================================
I can't sort a list of threaded messages.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Microsoft Entourage does not support sorting a list of threaded messages. To
sort messages that are part of a thread, try filtering the Message list by
the subject of the thread, and then sorting the list by a specific field,
such as From.
