Vista - Seeing ONLY my own messages in newsgroups in Windows Mail

I recall using Outlook Express earlier to view my messages/threads in this
newsgroup. Recently I installed Vista, and finally got tired of the web
interface, so I'm reading my messages in Windows Mail. I can d/l messages
all right, and mine come out red (instead of the default black)--but there
are so many replies every day. How can I keep Windows Mail from showing me
every single reply to every single message that comes into this group? I
really only want to view mine. Thanks.

How would you like to not only read every single message in this
newsgroup, but also compose a technically accurate reply for many
of them? ;-)

If you only want to see the ones you wrote, you can sort the
messages by the author's name (click on the From column header).

Thanks for the reply. Doing that only sorts them in alphabetical (or reverse
alphabetical) order. I'd like to view only my own messages. I remember doing
this with Outlook Express, but don't recall what I did. Is there a way to
filter out/delete all messages that aren't either my posts, or replies to
threads I've started?

Try this: View, Current View, Show Replies to My Messages.
The keyboard shortcut Ctrl+H should also work.

That doesn't weed out all other messages. I would like to view only mine,
instead of having to weed through everyone's.

I don't know of any other settings that would accomplish what you want.

That's strange. Could it be that you are using a *rule* which colors
your own postings?
Do you really want to filter out everything but just your own postings?
Di you really filter away all if the replies you received for your
postings/questions?

What you want to have can easily be done by defining a view for
filtering on your own postings.

For a very long time (since early OE) I have been using the following:

a) Create a rule
- condition: message contains <myname> in the field "from";
- actions:
* mark it with the color green
* and mark as read
* and mark the message as watched
(sorry if the wording is not 100% correct, it's my translation from
German).
This rule also has the effect that all replies in my posting are marked
as "watched".

b) Create a view
View | Current View | Define Views
condition: message contains <myname> in the filed "from";
action: show
name: My stuff

By selecting the view from the drop-down list "Views" (right corner of
the tool-bar) or from the menu View | Current View you can filter for
your own stuff.

In addition I am using another view called "Watchdog" based on messages
being marked to be watched.

This way it's just a clock in the drop-down list and selecting
"Watchdog" or "My stuff" to see only what I want.

HTH
If any further question, pls ask.

Glad to hear that, Rainald. Can you give me specifics? I'm all thumbs when
it comes to Windows Mail.
