Hi Hari,

Addressing the dial-up cost issue, in OE it is possible to copy or export
downloaded messages to another directory. You could, perhaps, do this once a
month. A potential problem with this approach is that the ability
automatically to group messages by thread is lost.

I am sure that it would be feasible to set up a database application to hold
the downloaded messages and provide the additional features you require.
However, being spoilt by (relatively) good internet access and the Google
Groups online database, I have never felt tempted to pursue the disk
database approach. Of course, were internet access to become contentious,
either in terms of cost or availabilty, I would review my approach.

Hi Norman,

Wanted to ask one thing.

Is it true that NewsMessages downloaded in to OE will be deleted by OE
once the corresponding messages are deleted from Microsoft server.(Did
post to OE newsgroup about this but ..) Because when Iam at home I cannot
afford to dial-up to net each time I have an Excel problem (when I work on
office sheets from home). Since, I use OE at work as well so I planned to
write my downloaded Excel news messages on to a CD and take them home and
write it in to my home PC.

I log on to net from home only when I have to actually post queries (using
OE). But if my home computer's OE is going to delete my old newsmessages
(old - means no longer on the server) then "Searching for Archives using
OE" will not be of much help. Any thoughts?

Thanks a lot,
Hari
