Thanks for any help.
The Group settings window is accessible by selecting Group>Default group >options or Group>Selected group options from Dialog's main menu. Note that >these two menu items are also available in the Settings menu.[end quote]
Group settings are settings that can be applied on a per-group basis. When >you open the Selected group options for a group you see a check box This >group uses the default group options at the bottom of the window. If this
is checked, this group uses the options as specified in Group>Default
group options.
Mark read
On this page you set when Dialog should mark messages read.
Purging
Purging is the process of automatically deleting articles from groups,
e.g. based on their age. On this page you can set when you want to have >articles automatically purged.
Retrieving
Retrieve bodies for all new messages
If this is checked, Dialog retrieves message bodies for all new article >headers.
But do not retrieve bodies longer than [Num] lines
If the Retrieve bodies for all new messages option is active, you can
prevent that very long articles, e.g. articles with binary attachments,
are automatically downloaded.
Retrieve bodies for all "first in thread messages"
Check this option if you want Dialog to download message bodies for all >messages that are not replies, but initial postings in a thread >automatically.
Maximum number of messages retrieved per session and group
When you get new headers Dialog only gets the latest headers up to the
number specified here.
Newly retrieved headers are initially expanded
If you want newly retrieved threads to initially show up expanded, not >collapsed, check this option.
Save attachments of all downloaded bodies to
Here you can specify a folder where Dialog automatically saves all >attachments of downloaded bodies.
Posting
Use this identity for posting
Specify the identity that you want to use for postings to this group. If
you specify [Current] here, the currently active identity is used.
Use this signature for posting
Specify the signature that you want to use for postings to this group. >Crossposts
Enable crosspost management
Enable or disable the crosspost management for this group.
Only apply for articles with an XRef header that suggests crossposting
If checked, the crosspost management is only done if the XRef header of
an article indicates that the article was posted to more than one group. >Since this option greatly reduces the number of messages to check, you
should leave this activated.
When a crossposted article is found...
Determines what happens to an article if it was crossposted and you have >already seen the article in another group. You can decide if you want to
see the article marked read or simply ignore the header at all. Note that >when a crossposted article is found, its body will not be retrieved, even
if you have set up Dialog to retrieve bodies for all new headers.
Only check for crossposts when retrieving NEW article headers
Determines if the crosspost management is only active when retrieving new >headers for a group, in contrast to getting headers for the first time or >getting all headers in a group.
Delete caches MsgIDs
If you press this button the database of already known MsgIDs is cleared. >Note that this clears the MsgIDs for all groups.
Sorting/Scoring
Sorting
The sort and threading order for this group.
Start a new thread when the subject changes within a thread
If someone follows-up to an article, but changes the original subject it
can be assumed that her message should be dealt with separately. If this >option is checked, the message will show up in a new thread. If it is >unchecked, it is shown within the original thread.
Mark articles read if score is smaller than [Num]
If you want Dialog to automatically mark messages read that are below a >certain score, set the minimum score here. (More about scoring)
Charsets
Default group charset
This is the default group charset used for articles using undeclared 8-bit >text. (More about this: Character Sets, Fonts and Unicode)
