Newsgroups -- location of status

[Bonnie]

What is the local file where Outlook Express stores
information on what has been viewed in the newsgroups?

The issue is that I have a class online that uses a
number of newsgroups in Outlook Express. I generally
access this class from my desktop. At times I travel and
take my laptop and access the newsgroups remotely. The
problem is that my laptop access does not know what has
already been read (Outlook Express shows unread messages
in bold, read messages are not in bold making
identification easy) -- and there are more than a
thousand postings. I have no way when traveling to
determine what I have read and what I have not.

I need to find the local file where this information is
stored so that I can copy it over to my laptop at travel
time.

I would appreciate any help with identification of the
file.

You can't synchronise News group messages between machines using OE. You
CAN, using something like Gravity. News groups are an entirely different
animal to Email.
