Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / October 2006MT_Newswatcher and recovering a message
You have MT open. You have looked at the messages and/or marked all as read. You close the window with the summaries of the articles on a particular group and you are staring at your myGroups window and the group you are concerned with has no articles pending. You did not save anything but you want to reply to something that someone said. You want to get that message back. If anyone has been in this situation, I would be keen to hear what you do. I do different things from rebuilding full group (this does not always activate on my machine) to going off to Google (neither of which is much fun...). Is there anything I am missing from within this software, to build or search within just a particular group? (I know about the option of getting different software... I am loyal and loving to whatever I have, it is my nature...)  Signaturedorayme In article <doraymeRidThis-43EE85.10284420102006@news-vip.optusnet.com.au>, > You have MT open.

That will give you a dialog box that lets you retrieve, say, the last X number of messages, or all messages posted in the last hour.

Alice... brilliant! I even lost your message before replying... This indeed is neat and I won't easily forget the technique. Been losing stuff all morning for some reason. Thanks for this. I must thumb thru my printed manual! Signaturedorayme In article <doraymeRidThis-BBF03E.13045420102006@news-vip.optusnet.com.au>, > > Highlight the group you want on your main groups list.

Or: Search for that message explicitly, by selecting the particular newsgroup in the news groups window, then Special > Search news ... will give you a window where you can select what field you are looking for (eg Subject: or From:), and what value it should have.

If I can remember such values... yes. Anyway, thanks, but problem solved as you will have read...

You can be saved. You are quite cute really. It's like this Michael, present tense is often used to set a scene to be imagined. (At this point, I want you to imagine me reaching out and tassling your hair in a good natured fatherly or motherly way... if you have difficulty in imaging this because I am not actually doing it, go see a film called "Seducing Doctor Lewis" and watch out for one of the boat scenes... it won the audience award of the Sundance Film Festival. No, not the scene, Michael...! The film _itself_ won the award) Signaturedorayme > You are quite cute really. I'm actually adorable in person.
