Saving the "newsgroup view" to a file
By "newsgroup view" I'm referring to the list of messages which appears in
the middle of the screen, which has columns for Subject, From, Sent, Size, etc. and which can be "sorted" in various orders. Is it possible to save this list to a text file which can be examined later? In that way one could research topics that were discussed in the past, in ways that might be superior to what the Find action can do. In other words, I would like to "redirect" the view to a file, similar to saying (in the MSDOS box) dir dir.txt . I know this is a broad question that would apply to all newsgroups. If there is a more appropriate newsgroup for this question, please redirect me! |

Depends what newsreader you're using.
Have you considered simply using Google Groups' advanced search facilities to research your topics? http://groups.google.com/ Steve By "newsgroup view" I'm referring to the list of messages which appears in the middle of the screen, which has columns for Subject, From, Sent, Size, etc. and which can be "sorted" in various orders.

I'm using Outlook Express provided by Earthlink. I actually want to search
for topics using my own software, which is why I would like to get the list of Subjects-From-Sent as an offline text file. "Stephen Glynn" wrote in message ... Depends what newsreader you're using. Have you considered simply using Google Groups' advanced search facilities to research your topics? |

Why not just search within OE? It has a perfectly good search feature. You
can also search visually for specific subject lines if you sort by subject. -- Suzanne S.

No, because I want to develop a product. There's no particular subject I am
searching for right now. Besides, I don't consider the Find tool in OE to be very good. For example, you can search for "page numbering" but "numbering page" will come up empty. Also, I want to search not just the past few months, but the past several years. Are there archives? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Why not just search within OE?

The archives, to which I believe you have already been pointed, are at
Google Groups; you can use all the power of Google to search there. -- Suzanne S.

Out of interest, I've just done a search of Google Groups for "page"
AND "numbering" in microsoft.public.word.newusers. It took 0.20 seconds to find 260 threads, going back to 1999. Steve Suzanne S. Barnhill wrote: The archives, to which I believe you have already been pointed, are at Google Groups; you can use all the power of Google to search there. |
