You should be able to drag that dividing line to the right, to increase the width of the column so you can see all the names. Dirk
I should have said I am using Outlook Express. When I open news groups and get the long list, there is no column to drag. I have not used newsgroupes in years. I do not remember what I did at that time to expand the names. I think I had to type something in the box at the top. Thanks anyway.

I'm using Windows Mail now, which is not very different from Outlook > > I should have said I am using Outlook Express. When I open news groups > and get the long list, there is no column to drag.

I used to use OE, and I don't remember having this problem. Are you looking at the newsgroups in the folder pane? If so, I believe that pane is resizable. On the other hand, if you're looking at the Newsgroups window (which you can open by pressing Ctrl+W, as Doug said), you ought to be able to resize the columns -- unless, of course, I've forgotten some major difference between OE and WM. If I were you, I'd carefully hover my mouse pointer over various likely borders and dividing lines, to see what might be resizeable. This should not be so much of a problem as all that. Doug & Dirk
I must have something wrong with Outlook Express. Using Ctrl+W takes me to the same list as I had before. Hovering the mouse does nothing either. I have Windows Live mail also. I checked it and everything is fine there. The reason I quit Live mail was, I could not make separate folders of addresses like I can with Outlook Express. I can make a separate folder but the addresses I put in it also goes into the main folder, and when I delete them from the the main folder it also deletes them from the 2nd folder. I am sure there is a way to have a 2nd folder with different addresses, but it is most likely my age. That's why they call me Old Geaser (Can't evan spell Geaser correct) Thanks Bert Show quoteHide quote "Old Geaser" <old.geas***@verizon.net> wrote in message news:eJCy5W28JHA.4376@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > Dirk > > I should have said I am using Outlook Express.

If so, you could e-mail it to me, and maybe that would refresh my memory. You can get my e-mail address by removing NO SPAM and INVALD from the reply address of this message, or from my website, which is listed below in my signature block. Please don't post that e-mail address here, though; spammers and viruses harvest e-mail addresses from the newsgroups for their evil purposes. Dirk
Now that I have discovered I can use newsgroupes in live mail, I think I will go back to live mail and keep on trying to figure how to have 2 or 3 mail address folders. Thanks for the help and offers.
