| | How do I sort messages in this discussion group I'm trying to use this discussion group to solve some of my problems, but simply using the discussion group seems to be a major problem on its own. Besides giving me only a small window to work within, I can't find anyway to sort messages so I can see only the newest ones. Right now I'm looking at a screen that has a mix of messages from 2008 and back to 2005; what a pain. |

What is that? (I know what CDO is/means). If Outlook Express or Windows Mail, then click on the sent column to sort by date sent. If the oldest go to the top then click again to put the newest to the top. For other things such as the length of time to keep headers and the layout of your window panes.... look through tools-options. Group posts by conversation if that is not ticked. |

| | Re: How do I sort messages in this discussion group Yep, this is a horrible interface. This is where I end up when I go to help in Windows Vista and choose the option to ask a question in the Microsoft community. Thanks for the tips.
