Um no, because in large groups I view UNREAD posts only, and a lot of
people do that. (Unless I'm looking at posts I've replied to.......)
Well...yes....I know of some people who use this method, can't keep up with
the rest of the flow if other posters snip their responses, which is what
most groups encourage, or demand, due to those who still have dial-up and/or
have to pay by the minute for Internet access. As it appears to involve
your newsreader or setup, I am afraid I can't do anything to help in that
regard. However, if it will make it easier for you to understand by seeing
what Jeff was referring to, I can post the information that both SamplesHere
and I posted for him, the ones that didn't work.

SamplesHere:
Jeff you may want to visit Microsoft.com and get
"MicrosoftAntiSpywareInstall.exe" this is Spyware Adware removal tool. 7MB
on dialup connection.
AFTER running this you will need to right click the desktop then properties,
to change the italics font back to what you had.

And my post:
Hi Jeff
It is possible that your default font was somwow corrupted. Try
uninstalling it and reinstalling it.

MS MVP - Windows Shell/User
Fix Constant Italics/Font Problem -
When a rogue program decides to install its own version of system fonts, it
may replace the original
version of the font file with a shortcut in the font folder. Once this
program is uninstalled, the shortcut may now point to a font file that no
longer exists. Windows XP in turn reacts by turning all unspecified
fonts into italics upon next reboot.The simple way to fix this is to delete
all shortcuts in the font folder and replace them with the actual font file.
By going to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Fonts],
you can also double check the path of each font and look for any suspicious
paths.
You don't want to delete the key. What you want is to make sure that all the
fonts in the Fonts Folder are really there and not shortcuts. So you want to
look in the right-side panel and be sure that the fonts
shown have the correct path and nothing weird. For instance, you want to be
sure that the fonts shown are really where Windows thinks they are.
also check:
Tools>Internet Options>General tab>Accessibility button
Any options selected there? By default they should all be unchecked.
Hope this helps

Hopefully, this will help bring a bit of light to the subject. I'm afraid
it is the best I can do.
