Downloading in Newsgroups; how do I download older headers

[DoorDreams]

I just set up newsgroups in MS mail and when I download headers it only
downloads about a week. I know there is over a 60 day archive on the news
server. I see no options to allow me to download the older headers.

The default setting to download Headers is 300 at a time. To change that,
open Windows Mail then click: Tools/Options/Read Tab/midway down under
"News", change the number to 1000 which is the maximum for one download
execution.

What's MS mail? If that's your name for Windows Mail, try clicking on
Tools, then Get Next 300 Headers whenever you want more.

Click on Tools, Synchrinize All. This should download most, if not all of
what the server has.

Using the Get Next 300 can take a long time depending on how many messages
the server stores.
