Watch Message Functionality Not Working

[timmy t]

Hi,
I have my Windows Mail options set so that "Watched messages" should be
color coded red when they are in my newsgroup. When I used Outlook Express,
if I had a newsgroup message being watched, then when someone replied, their
message would appear as red and be noticable when unread in the window on
left side of the screen.

However, when I have Windows Mail newsgroup messages set to be watched, the
responses are appearing as normal messages -- no color coding -- and as a
result, some have been missed.

Is anyone else having this problem? Can you advise what might be wrong here?

I discovered the problem. I had my options set so that all threads started
by me would be watched. When I unchecked this option (found in advanced
section), the watched messages worked correctly.
