It is setup that way right now.  When I click on a newsgroup all the headers
are downloaded.  It's only when I click on specific messages that the body
is downloaded.  It wouldn't matter too much if the bodies were downloaded
upon entering a newsgroup though.  I have a cable modem, so.. :)

I have the newsgroups setup so that no copies are kept in the Sent Items
folder.  At first I had it that way and I didn't realize it.  So when I
clicked on the Sent Items folder, I was shocked to see hundreds and hundreds
of messages stored there (I think it even surpassed a thousand sent
messages).  Like I've said, I've been using Outlook Express for some time
(soon to be 2 years) but I have only been using it for News (newsgroups;
Usenet) recently.  Thanks for the suggestions!
