Well, I subscribe to dozens of newsgroups. Transferring posts every day sounds like a royal PITA. That's the main reason I decided against using Pegasus Mail. > With 0.9x, it's a bit different. You set the expiry per >server. However, I'm not sure how it handles groups occurring on multiple >servers with different expiries set, Hopefully I could set the expiry for about 100 years. :-) Any idea why there isn't simply a "do not delete old posts from newsgroup" setting ? >whether it expires them at the earlier or later set one. Well, I will see how your filter works first but the above would seem to make Pan as tiresome as Pegasus for me. Constantly moving hundreds of posts every day is NOT my idea of fun. If I have 50 newsgroups then I need to have an additional 50 folders as well, for transfers. :-( Makes finding things more difficult as well. >Charles? Thank you for your help so far.
