A wee while ago, you showed me how to highlight names with colour. Are you
able to tell me please, where the list of these is kept? Am I able to
delete them all in one go?

Many thanks for any help

If you just want to revert back to normal in Live Mail:
From the Menu > Message rules > News
Select your rule > Modify
In the last box click on ' Highlight it with...'
Select 'Default', 'OK'.
Save rule.
Click on 'Apply now'.
Select the rule, browse to the relevant newsgroup and 'Apply'.
You can then remove the rule if you don't want it any longer.

If you want to delete the messages from Windows Live Mail:
Type the name of the sender in the box 'Find a message'.
From the menu Edit > select all > Edit > Delete.

I'll keep you pink ....

As I will you )

Those thing that Dave explained work fine, but I just wondered if there was
a file with those options <addresses?> saved to it... as it were

In the early days of using that option, I wasn't specific enough about that
<one> person and others got caught up in it. Changing the colour back to
default, doesn't always work. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

As far as I know there is no separate list of coloured posters ( that doesn't sound
right , but you know what I mean).
I think each post is tagged to be coloured or not (default colour).

Oi do, oi do

No, it is the poster who is tagged to be coloured. For example, I have
Grenau coloured pink. Each time she posts, that post is highlighted pink.
It stands out from other posts and therefore will not be missed. If she
posted in another group, her posts would still appear in pink. As I said
earlier, I was careless when adding posters to that list. I have realised I
must add the whole email* as shown or others who have similar emails, will
be caught up in it, and they too will appear in pink. I suspect there must
be some kind of list of those to whom I have designated a colour, since it
acts over all newsgroups.

*or that which purports to be an address. In your case I would add
<[email protected]>

Why don't you just use the name instead of the email address?
To have your posts coloured I would type in 'Ophelia' in the relevant box.
If you want to get the name and email address in the correct detail
right-click a post and select Properties.
On the Details tab there is a From line.
You can copy and paste that text.
