Did you read my response in this thread? Did you do a Search in this
newsgroup using "Yahoo" or "java" in the Subject line? Since you're using
the web-based newsgroup interface, you might be interested in switching over
to regular newsgroups in Outlook Express where you can do all types of
threading, marking messages read, only view unread messages, follow your own
posts, etc. Details of how to set up the msnews.microsoft.com news server
(all Microsoft's newsgroups) are in Help in OE. This is free to anyone,
without sign-in or password, and it doesn't matter Internet Service Provider
you're using.
