Viewing 100 messages at a time
Take this url:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GROUP/messages/1?expand=1&viscount=100
Change "GROUP" to your group's name and change "messages/1" to wherever number message you want to start viewing at and then paste that url in your browser. Bookmark it too so you have it handy when you need it.
This is mainly useful for saving your Yahoogroup message archives, if you set the FIRSTMESSAGENUMBER to 1, save the page, then click "Next" link, save the page, etc., you'll have your group's messages saved in batches of 100 messages.
At this time, there's no other way to save group messages from the Yahoogroups website, there's no way to download all of them or zip them up or anything.
You can also change the "viscount=100" at the end of the url to less if you just want to read a bunch of messages, change it to 30 or 50 or whatever you prefer.
