Nope. It is a linked array. All or nothing.

That is more or less how I do it. I clear newsgroup postings periodically. You
don't have to delete the files, though. It is much cleaner and less traumatic to
just close OE. For example, if I want to clear alt.computer.security, I'll just
right click and select "unsubscribe." Then I close OE and reopen it. The group
entry and data file will be gone. Then I just go back to the usenet list and
resubscribe.

If you want to delete the whole domain, just right click on the server key and
select "Remove Account." That will remove the server account and all the
associated newsgroups. Close and reopen OE to complete housekeeping.
