I am currently running OE 6 on my machine. Before I built this machine I
was running a previous version (I think it was the one that came with IE
5.5).

In the old version I could tell it to download all messages from a newsgroup
as far back as I wanted. (I usually had it for 90 to 180 days) so that I
could use the search feature to rapidly search for answers before posting a
question.

However on the new version 6, I cannot find this setting and I cannot
download more than a day or two from each newsgroup.

Thanks for any help.
