The View menu of Article List Window contains commands that affect the way articles are displayed in the article list. The menu has the following items:
You can decide to view:
All articles. This will show you every article in the newsgroup, unless you have some additional Filters in effect (see below).
Marked for download.
Downloaded. Note that this selection will only show articles that are both Downloaded and Unread, that is, that have been downloaded during this session. If you wish to see articles that have been downloaded regardless of their Read status, use the Filters described below.
Wanted articles (articles that have matched with the Want filters).
BNR will automatically select to display only unread articles after connecting to a news server (if there are any unread articles). If you have selected to show multi-part articles on a single row, viewing Marked or Downloaded articles show on the Part column the number of marked or downloaded parts, and the server columns show how many marked or downloaded parts exist on this server (an X means that all parts exist).
You can sort the article list by different columns. (NOTE! Besides selecting the sort order from this menu, you can click on the column headers to sort by that column).
BNR has many additional viewing filters you can use. The filter are:
Show multipart articles on a single row (NOTE! This option can only be set on if you have selected to view the Part column in group settings).
Hide articles with no filename.
Show ONLY articles flagged as ... With this filter you can include only the articles that have selected flag or flags set and exclude all the others.
Hide articles flagged as ... With this filter you can exclude articles from the list that have the selected flags set.
Show ONLY articles on server ... With this filter you can include only the articles that exist on the selected server(s).
Hide articles on server ... With this filter you can exclude articles that exist on the selected server(s).
The article flags are as follows:
Read / Old. This is an article that has been read from cache or that has been specifically marked as read.
Downloaded. The article has this flag set if it has been downloaded (during this session or some earlier session).
Marked for download. This flag is set if the article is currently marked for download.
