More than 300 postings?!?

How do I get WLM to fetch ALL postings in a newsgroup?!?

I can only get it to fetch 300 at a time!!!!

I've read somewhere else on the Internet that I should UNcheck the 'Fetch
only 300' option, but where to find that option???

I've looked in all the ribbons, but no where to be found!

(God, I HATE ribbons - gonna use Office 2003 to the end of my days!)

Thanks in advance...

Windows Live Mail button > Options > Mail > Click the 'Read' tab
or
ALT F O M then click the 'Read' tab

Hi, Charlotte.

See that blue bar (with a down-triangle) just left of the Home button? If
you hover your mouse over it for a few seconds, its name will appear. But
the name is the very generic "Windows Live Mail". Click that and follow the
click-path that Winston gave you.

For a more-permanent (and more friendly) solution, after you click that bar,
then Options, DO NOT left-click Mail, but right-click it and choose to Add
to Quick Access Toolbar. You should see an icon with a yellow pencil on it
appear on the QAT. Click this and you should see the familiar (if you used
OE) Options page-of-many-tabs, including General | Read | Receipts... The
300 headers... checkbox is on the Read tab.

Spend some time exploring the QAT (Quick Access Toolbar). You can add
almost any item from any Ribbon to this QAT, making the corresponding
function available with a single click. Makes the Ribbon UI quite livable!
After you've added a bunch of icons to the QAT, you'll probably want to
rearrange them - but you can't. So, once you know what you really want,
delete them all and start over, adding them in a sequence that makes sense
to you.

Also, note that, just as there are several Ribbons, depending on which Mode
(Mail, News, Compose) we are in, we can also have a different QAT in each
mode. You'll probably want the Sig icon in the Compose window, but not in
Mail-reading mode.

Explore! There's more to love in the Ribbon UI than first appears. I hated
it too, at first, but I'm comfy with it now. And the same comments apply
almost across the board to the Ribbon/QAT in Office.
