Windows Mail - Right Click to delete a post - How?

Hi - What happened to the Right Click option to delete a single newsgroup post?
That feature alone is what made Outlook Express so much better than any other newsgroup readers I used including Thunderbird and a couple available in Suse Linux whose names I can't remember at this moment.
Question: Is there some way to enable the Right Click to Delete option?
Thanks
Joe

I currently don't see that option now in Outlook Express, a similar option to deleting would be unsubscribe. Thats available on the context menu when you right click a newsgroup. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

Thunderbird uses Unsubscribe and you can't selectively delete posts because the messages are actually kept on the server. It seems like that's a holdover from the 6800 baud days.
Microsoft really needs to add that delete function back in Windows Mail. They don't have to make Outlook Express like Thunderbird. IMO Outlook Express is much better and I've used both, although I've only used Thunderbird in Linux. I wouldn't install it on my Windows OSs. It simply is not as good as Outlook Express.
Of course, you can't say that on any Linux or Thunderbird newsgroups. You'd be skinned alive - :D

Well, you're right - I obviously have that function confused with something else.

Try adding other news servers - You will be pleasantly surprised! As to the "Unsubscribe", that is to remove an entire newsgroup or server, rather than an individual post. To delete an individual post, either click on the red "X" on the toolbar, or chose delete from the "edit" drop-down menu.
Hope this helps! Jerry
