Mac Forum / Applications / Firefox / Mozilla / March 2006removing messages, Mozilla 1.2.1
In several of my larger newsgroups messages from 1 1/2 years ago, when clicked, give a message "...message may be expired." And "click here to remove all expired articles." The latter removes nothing! How do I remove expired or unwanted messages? > In several of my larger newsgroups messages from 1 1/2 years ago, > when clicked, give a message "...message may be expired."

Well, it SHOULD work, but that may be one of the 'defects' within the 9x version of Mozilla, that never got fixed when Apple dropped 9x development. I simply cant remember if thats one of the 9x problems or not. If you are reading online, it doesnt matter anyway, because the message is not stored on your computer, only the header is. If you cant upgrade to OS X and newer versions. then the following will suffice. With Mozilla off (not running) Go into your profile folder and find the News folder. Then for the specific news account delete the .msf file for the newsgroup in question. When you restart Mozilla and go back to the newsgroup, all the headers will be downloaded (subject to the limitation you set in number) and any expired message headers will be gone. |
