Abstract
A radio receiver (110) for receiving messages from a plurality of sources includes a message database (252) for storing the messages and sources from which the messages originate and a processing unit (220) for determining whether each source has a status of anchored or unanchored. The processing unit (220) further flags last received messages from anchored sources to indicate that the last received messages are anchored messages which are to be deleted only after deletion of unanchored messages which are not flagged as anchored messages.
