 I think I see the headers that way but I still miss seeing multiple 
 newsgroups. What I meant to say is that eventhough the newsgroups are there 
 to see I don't see them. That is why I said something about making them 
 flash; so I would be more likely to know that there are multiple newsgroups. 
 So in other words I was (not entirely) serious. 
  
 I don't use the preview pane, though. I turned it off to reduce the chance 
 that spammers would benefit. I don't miss it. However a better way to reduce 
 spam is to set the option to always use plain text for viewing email. Many 
 spammers have a way to get notified that we have previewed and/or opened 
 their email. That makes our email addesses worth more since they have 
 verified it is good. I seem to finaly see a reduction in spam I am getting, 
 but it seemed to have taken about two months after I turned off HTML 
 viewing.
