Hi,
I understand what you're trying to do, but have never done it myself.
Someone else might be able to provide an answer if you name the
program you're using to view newsgroups.
Remember that Google have most newsgroups archived, so if you just
want to catch up on some messages, you can visit the archives at:
http://www.groups.google.com
That's what I do when I miss important messages. You can view
messages in their original text-based format and save them to disk in
your browser.

sorry it's taking this long to respond but right after I sent both those
e-mails my desktop becqme possessed and basically crashed. I tried to
reformat for the very first time and am not doing well at all :-( Anyhow
have a laptop that I'm using and it takes forever for my mail to download
from unlimited mail so just getting this - I use Outlook Express to view the
newsgroups. I didn't know about the Google site so might be able to get
want from there - this is a newsgroup that is I guess privately owned by
someone in Belgium if I remember correctly and he stores the messages from
alt.binary. flood fonts (or something like that as don't have the name
handy) and I access him through Outlook Express also. Dolores
