>>I'm having some difficulty finding out how to do something here on the UT that I'd like to do. Perhaps I'm overlooking it or maybe it just doesn't allow for this. What I want to do is simply display all the messages for a given date range. For instance, all the messages in the VFP area for 12-Feb-02 to 18-Feb-02. It seems that the default is to display messages for a single day. Then you have to use the combobox to display for another day, then again for another day. This seems an extreme pain, IMHO. Again, maybe I'm missing this. Hopefully that is the case . . .

Well, I certainly wouldn't be opposed to a way to basically say "I want the Chatter section with all the messages for the last 4 days" or "I want the Visual FoxPro in general section with all the messages for the last 4 days". That would filter it down even more, but I could still say I want all the VFP threads for the last 4 (or whatever) days, also.

I just find that having a view of the messages for only one day at a time makes it hard to find things and it's just too easy to entirely miss a thread unless you check each day in succession.

Granted, the UT has many features nicer than the newsgroups, but I find the way you display the threads not as nice (I'll try the time warp like you suggested). In the newsgroups using Outlook Newsreader (OE), you get, by default, the last 300 messages headers. This is not quite the same as I suggest, but does effectively do pretty much the same, because that many messages usually spans multiple days (and, of course, you can configure how many are downloaded).

Thanks for your continued responses . . .
