So, get caught up with all your reading and then Empty Cache and set your Server Options to download 60 headers at a time. Right after you download again, immediately mark all messages as read; then any new messages that come in subsequently will be clearly unread. As for the growing cache, I've found that periodically, older headers are automatically deleted when I first open a newsgroup. I assume this is a built-in feature of the MS News Server. Does this answer your questions? I may not have completely understood them.
