Yes, newsgroup messages
By right clicking on the newsgroup and selecting "catch-up". About one-half
of the time it pops up a dialog box that says "catching up with selected
newsgroup" and it has a thermometer bar that is about 90%
complete--sometimes it quickly fills from left to right and then stops at
90% complete or thereabouts. Shortly after, it indicates that Windows mail
is "not responding" and sometimes it takes 2-4 minutes before it finishes
and turns all bolded items to normal font, hence "catching up."
Then I can close Windows mail, and reopen and if I selected five separate
newsgroups to catch-up, one at a time in the previous process, at least one
of those will show bolded items that did not "register" as caught up even
though they had turned non-bold during previous process. It is like the
program is forgetting what it just caught up with.
Actually I often do this after "synchronizing all newsgroups" and I download
both headers and messages in that process.
The worst part is that when waiting for the program to respond, no actions
are possible for 2-4 minutes on that program. I can still work with other
programs.
