How to delete columns in the Newgroup display tab?

Post by Dutch »

Where can I change which columns are displayed in the newsgroup display tab?

i.e., if I do not wish to display 'Message-id', where do I specify that?

Thank you.

Easiest way is to open your group of headers. Go to the top where it says 'Message-id' place your mouse over the right line that defines its boundary. (It will change to a " <-|-> " and left click, drag all the way to the left until it meets the next boundary, let go. Job done - effectively hides it. To get it back go to the left boundary line and mouse click and drag to the right. To move any where you want them, mouse click (and hold) in-between the boundary lines, left click drag left or right to wherever you want them placed.

eg.

|Subject |Age |Message-id | etc.etc
^ = Boundaries (pick and drag these left (to shrink or hide completely) or right (to show again or make bigger)
And anywhere in-between click and drag to move

|Subject |Message-id |Age | etc, etc

Another handy hint - If you have loads of groups and you want them all the same column spacings (With your list view amended and showing)
Go to > Menu Bar > Window > Propagate current column order/widths.
Then when you open any of your groups they are spaced ALL the same. (No trying to guess each column for each group)
