To answer your last question, while in normal OE mail (not Newsgroups) click on File...New...Folder. A window will pop up asking where to place that new folder. I choose Local Folder which makes a new folder that will be listed when I look at folders. You can name it Saved News Emails (or whatever).
Now when you're in Newsgroups and you find an email you want to save, right click it, choose Copy to Folder and select that new folder. Voila!
I do it in a similar manner for regular emails I want to save. And in normal mail when you right click an email you have the choice to Copy to or Move to another folder. I made a folder named Web Stuff Ordered. When I order something on the Internet and receive a confirmation email I move it to that folder. Helps keep track of things. Quite frequently they will have a order tracking number and where to check. Nice to have that saved.
Thanks Bruce, for all your help! One thing, when I download the messages in OE and toggle Ctrl + H, I don't see my messages, in fact, all the messages disappear! Is there anything I'm doing incorrectly? Thanks in advance.

It will show the threads you've posted in with the email address you have set for that account, not for the one you use here.

Did you reply to any of these messages that disappear?
If Ctrl+H leaves you with no messages, then either you have no posts that you are involved in, or something is wacky with your keyboard. If I do it, every thread disappears except the ones I have responded to. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA

When I toggle Ctrl+H all the messages disappear. When I do a search for "sheana" in the "From" field, I get a list of messages that I wrote. Is there a setting in OE that is causing the problem, or am I having a stupid attack?

You're posting via the clunky Web interface, not Outlook Express. If you posted using OE, then Ctrl+H would work. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA

Look in OE at Tools, Accounts, News, Properties, General, e-mail address. For a post to be considered as yours, the From address in the post must contain that e-mail address.

My OE is configured for Cox email, and I login to this newsgroup using a hotmail address. What is the email address that I use here? When I click on "user profile" I don't see an address listed.
I opened one of the messages in OE and hit the "Reply" button, but it wants to use my Cox email address to reply, which I won't do.

According to your headers you are using a browser to read this newsgroup, not Outlook Express, and you have told the website not to include your address.
