Hello List, In outlook 2003, I went into the options menu as suggested to see if I could get it to read the number of messages followed by the unread as before with insert page down. I unchecked the option in the reading pane that was to mark as unread after selecting, and it didn't change it. I read in an earlier message of the archive that it doesn't appear that the option is available in outlook 2003. Since I'm new to outlook, would this then be correct? It would certainly be different from outlook express handling. This is using JFW 6.0 right now on the laptop. I haven't moved to 6.10 on this system yet. Thanks for any suggestions.
