That helps but only works if sorted by the sent date and even then starts with all threads expanded. From what I found on the net maybe WLM never did work the way I remember. Outlook express did. Perhaps need to look for a separate newsreader. Thanks, Gary

Hi,



Somehow I managed to mess up WLM so that each post is on a separate line rather than collected under a single header with an expand button. How do I get back?



I looked through every option I could find at least twice to no avail. Google gave just non-relevant listings. I looked for a Microsoft forum but that was a dead end.



Any help appreciated.



Thanks, Gary
