What NNTP client are you using?
How it is possible to track ALL messages responded and flaged?
 
I can not see MAJOR differences between OE6 and Agent.
The main problem is trace messages I responsed and notices regarding them.

If you are talking about OE6, click on the glasses icon in the message list
to sort messages by this column. Then, each time you want to trace a
message, click in front of this message in the glasses column to make small
glasses appear. Your message will be coloured in red and always stay on top
of the message list. Each time an answer appears, the thread and the
newsgroup name will be coloured in bold red making it easy to spot new
answers.

I use Gravity, which is now freely available and open source.

I have it configured to highlight replies to my messages.
 
Lol :)
I know it and use it very much, my problem is to make groups, set notes. You
should understand that at some point you have 5 pages of "red" messages so
you can continue to trace them :)
I want to be able to group marked message, set notes, comments, see in some
view ONLY traced or not messages with notes following, etc.

I began to think about custom dev of such tool ./..

I'm not an MVP, but...

You'd usually either auto-watch a thread, or auto-*score* messages in a
thread and have threads containing highly-scored messages highlighted in
some way.

I'm using 40tude Dialog right now -- my favourite client so far. :-)

I see. So you want to create a group containing all marked messages of all
groups. Nice idea indeed.

If you do, would you make it available to the community? :-)
 
Tamir this .dotnet integration with outlook looks lovely. I've been meaning
to try it for some time (for one reason it will prevent that outlook express
thing where one day all your old posts seem to slowly disappear regardless
of storage settings grr!)

With NewsLook and custom search folders in Outlook 2003, Tamir should
be able to do most of what he wants I think.
If there's anything missing I'm quite open to ideas....

Not me - sorry! I do know two other Simon Smith's myself. Sadly, none
of us have dancing bears....
