OS Wind.XPPro with OE All the titles of the Newsgroups in my OE were in black colour, but suddenly one title changed colour to red! Why did this happen and how do I change it back to red? Thank you.

Thank you. You have an unread message in a Watched thread in that newgroup. -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP, IE/OE Please respond in Newsgroup.

Thank you for the answer. I fixed it. However, would you please kindly explain to me (and others maybe) why a posting of 18/07/05 by a Dunko titled RE: Error Code: 80246008, which has nothing to do with me be required to be read by me? In addition it appears in red in Microsoft Newsgroup "Windowsupdate" and has a pair of reading glasses to the left of the title. What does all that mean and how does it happen? Thank you.

I did not do either and when I experimented on changing the colour of the Subject matter and removing the glasses several of other Subject matters changed colour to red and the glasses appeared against them as well. Eventually the only way of correcting this was to Unsubscribe this particular News Title and reinstall it. It worked! Many thanks for all the contributions.
