Using Outlook Express, I've added the Mark All button to the toolbar.

You have to select the ones you want to mark as read. Highlight any one in a
news group. Then press ctrl | A. Then do what you want with them.

All of the previous advice assumed that you were using OE, not Thunderbird.
Since Thunderbird is not part of Windows, I suggest that you find a
newsgroup for Thunderbird. It won't be on the server you used this time.
