Collapsing newsgroup threads

Before WLM (with Outlook Express) would have newsgroup messages presented
"collapsed" under initial thread's post. In WLM, all threads are fully
expanded. When an addition to the thread was made, the OP presented as bold.
That made it easy to see the active threads instead of having to scroll down
a lot - particularly in very active newsgroups.

How do I set WLM to present threads "collapsed"?

Thanks.

Worked. Thanks to Sterling and ...winston for quick reply. Sorry I missed
that, as I have been using newsreaders for quite awhile. Well, senior
monent, I guess.

Thanks again.

You're welcome Al.

I also replied your other post about the WLM window size, but I guess it
never made it to the client side of the newsgroup. The message though is in
the web ui on microsoft.com

I guess you shouldn't bother looking at it though since it was the same
thing winston suggested. Sorry I don't have other suggestions regarding how
to resize the WLM window.
