headers file?

May 14th, 2012 - 11:41 pm ET by The Coca Cola Kid | Report spam
Is there a file that contains just the headers of messages in a
particular newsgroup (ie. the headers that appear when you press the
Get next 300 headers button)?
Where is it located? I have looked in the Windows Live Mail
folder under the AppData directory, but only found folders with
downloaded messages, and account information files.

No.

Is there a particular reason why you would want such a folder?

If you need to locate the headers of any single message then select the
message and hit Ctrl key + F3.

HTH?

Generally the last message number is stored (or message number history),
along with out-of-sequence message numbers - not header info.

Hi, Kid.

Do you really mean "headers"? Or do you want to see the Subject of each
message?

When I want to see headers, I select the message and (in WLM 2011) press
<Ctrl>+<F3>. It tells me lots of things about your post, including which
newsreader you are using:
User-Agent: G2/1.0
X-HTTP-UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64;
Trident/5.0),gzip(gfe)

Is this what you want to see in a listing or a file?

Not really.
'Get x headers' updates the WLM's message store index file (think of it as
an entry in a table of contents but without the referenced page not yet
present)...once the message is opened (read) a file is created (*.news) with
the message headers and content.

Winston... You should repair your sig. When someone replies your top
post, it clips all history below it along with your sig. Sigs belong on
the bottom, not midway in a thread.

I kept it present below as an example
