[[Specifies whether to mark all messages as read when you exit a newsgroup.
If you clear this check box, you can still mark individual messages as read.
For more information, look up "Marking messages as read or unread" in the
Help Index.]]

To mark messages as read

[[To mark an individual message as read or unread, select the message. On
the Edit menu, click Mark as Read or Mark as Unread.
To mark all newsgroup messages as read when you quit Outlook Express or go
to another newsgroup, on the Tools menu, click Options. On the Read tab,
select Mark all messages as read when exiting a newsgroup.
To mark all messages in a selected newsgroup as read, including messages not
yet downloaded, select the newsgroup in the Folders list. On the Edit menu,
click Catch Up.
This is handy, for example, when you return from vacation and don't want to
download all unread messages, but want to start reading the current ones.

To mark all the messages in a given newsgroup conversation as read, select
either the original message or any of its replies. On the Edit menu, click
Mark Conversation as Read.
A conversation is an original message and all its posted replies.
Conversations are sorted and grouped according to the title of the original
message. For example, a conversation that starts with a message titled
"Ideas for Labrador owners" includes all of the replies, titled "RE: Ideas
for Labrador owners."
Note
E-mail and newsgroup messages are automatically marked as read after they
are open for a certain length of time. If you don't want messages
automatically marked, on the Tools menu, click Options, click the Read tab,
and then clear the Mark message read after displaying for x seconds(s) check
box.


[[To view only unread newsgroup messages
On the View menu, point to Current View, and then select Hide Read or
Ignored Messages.]]
