Hi Judy and list,
When you're in the message list; if you alt-v into the View menu, then
right-arrow, you get 'show all messages (this may be checked). Up-arrow
once and you have "view messages by conversation". When this is
checked, you will see the messages are grouped differently, i.e., they
come in 'threads'. (This is something like the subject - vview by
subject - but it also includes messages that were written in the thread
with different subject lines. (A conversation will have two or more
messsages in it.)
Now, conversations are either expanded (opened) or collapsed (closed.
When they are
collapsed, all the messages in it are as if just one - the one
highlighted. Now if you right-arrow before going into the message, you
will see the rest of the messages in the conversation by down-arrowing.
So, you can either uncheck view by conversation by phitting enter on
that option (treated above); or you can go into the Read Tab Control in
Outlook Express tools Options (ctrl-shift-o, shift-tab then ctrl-tab
twice till Read Tab is highlighted; then tab twice and check the
checkbox with spacebar, "always expand grouped messages". When groups
are expanded, you will see all the messages individually, not as one
'grouped' message. Sometimes it's handy to have mgrouped messages
collapsed, as when you come across a conversation you know you're not
interested in. (This will happen on busy mailing lists.)
HTH.

Subject: Re: [VICUG-L] Outlook express question
I wonder if Outlook Exp. has changed something recently. All of a
sudden
with certain messages I too need to answer the collapsed conversations
thing. To my knowledge, I have not changed anything either. By the
way, I
have no idea what this collapsed conversations thing is or what it's
for. I
am a new Outlook Ex. user, so I didn't know if I'd done something by
accident or what.
Also I have some messages which continue to say unread, no matter if
I've
opened them five times, and others change to read like they're supposed
to
after I read them.
A friend of mine is all of a sudden having some new problems with using
some
sound files which involve Outlook Ex.
So I don't know what answers and/or generalizations we might draw from
all
this.
And since we're on the topic of Outlook Exp., does anyone know of a
good
list for blind folks and Outlook Exp.?
Good luck to us, Judy.
Jan Santos
P.S. I sent this yesterday, and I believe it just went to Judy. So
this
morning I'm sending it with "reply all", so I hope it makes it to the
VICUG-L list.
Another question occurs to me; even if OE has made changes, wouldn't we
need
to download it ourselves for it to take effect on our own computer? Or
is
there some way that OE automatically makes changes in our computers
without
our knowledge?
