Access All Messages in Newsgroup

[Ken Triebold]

I am using Windows Mail to view newsgroups. I have found that with Windows
Mail, I do not have access to all of the messages that are actually in that
newsgroup. This becomes a problem when I search that newsgroup for a
particular message. It will only search the messages that I have access to
in Windows Mail rather than the entire database of messages that are in that
newsgroup. For example, in newsgroup:
microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin, I have 287 messages showing but I
know there are many hundreds more. They just don't show up in my system. My
question is: How can I get access to all the messages in the newsgroup when
using Windows Mail as my newsreader.

Thanks, Frank. It looks like that was it.
