Truncated NewsGroup Names on Outlook Subscription List

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Only the first few characters of the newsgroup names appear in the
Outlook Express "Newsgroup Subscriptions" list. How can I make enough
of the group name appear so that I can tell what groups Outlook is
trying to show me?

Drag the separator between the Preview Pane and the folder list to the
right. Or, if you put the cursor over the newsgroup name, it should show it
in its entirety in a yellow box for a few seconds. If it doesn't, you have
other problems I have not seen before.

You can increase the window size by dragging, then drag the vertical line.

You could start by asking in a proper newsgroup. This one is for
WinXP, the OS. I don't see the words "Outlook Express" or the
initials OE in the title, but I do see them in many other groups.

Then you could correctly identify your program. OE and Outlook are
NOT the same thing, yet you mix up the names with fluency.
Terminology is important if you want accurate help.

Remember, if you are asking about reading USENET you are NOT using
Outlook as it offers no capacity to do this.
