Most unusal newsreader issue.

I just added the various newsgroups I monitor to my Outlook Express
Bellsouth account and something weird is going on. Even after I catch up my
rec.scuba.locations group, I am told there is 1 unread message, but no
messages show up when I download headers.

Anybody else having this problem?

I'm not having this problem.

I think Dan B. might be on to something . . .or not.

I have the same issue every once in a while. Sometimes with more than 1
message. My theory is that the server does get a new message that the ISP
for whatever reason cannot push to the client PCs.

It's a definite maybe that Lee was peeping at too many of the
posts of mine which he had put in the "block sender's list".

He did it so many times that even the newsreader couldn't
count straight. Make that a probable definite maybe!!

I've had an inaccurate message count, by one or two, for the last few
days.

Whatever it was, it seems to have cleared up. I suspect it had something to
do with whatever OE uses to tell a read message from one that has not been
read. I deleted all the headers, caught the group up again and, somewhere
in the process, seem to have cured the problem. Strange.
