    Johnny -

    Information on newsgroup message base for those using OE5.

    A restart of the newsgroup server failed. The message base did
    not completely reinstall, losing messages from 10/4 - 10/24th.
    You will have to reset your newsgroup reader to see the new
    messages since the 24th.

    Below are messages from users who have reconfigured their
    software to see new messages but not download everything again
    that exists on the individual newsgroup:

    ***
    Outlook Express - various messages from users on how to reload

    On Outlook Express, When selecting discussion.autodesk.com - be
    under Tools / Options / Read. Get XX headers at a time / Apply /
    OK. Right click on the group the select Properties> Local
    File>Reset.

    (in different words: If you are using MS Outlook Express then you
    need to Tools>Options>Maintenance Tab>Clean Up Now Button>Reset
    Button. This will wipe out the headers and message bodies
    otherwise you will continue to get no new messages to download)

    In OE5 all you need to do is right-click on the group then select
    Properties
    then the Local File tab and select the Reset option.

    If he wants to Unsubscribe / Suscribe - It is under Tools /
    Newsgroups. If he wants to clear his cache it is under Tools /
    Options / General. If he wants to set the message count for
    downloading a specific smaller # of messages at a time, he has to
    select discussion.autodesk.com (as these settings are by server)
    Tools / Options / Read
    Get XX headers at a time / Apply / OK.
