Thank you, Dan. Your answer is clearer.
Now please tell me how to cross-post ?
quote......Cross-post means to put multiple groups in the field of
what group to post
to. And this message is only posted once.

Thank you.

I'm not sure how to do in Windows mail, but in the news client I use, I
just enter multiple group names in the To: field separated by a comma.

Ex-

To: microsoft.public.windows.vista.general, microsoft.public.vista.mail

Please enlighten me. Perhaps I have the misconception.
I thought if I ......
post the same question more than once on the SAME newsgroup, it is
called multipost,
post the same question in Different newsgroups, it is crosspost.
One should not multipost, but its OK to crosspost.
Am I right or wrong ?

Multi-post means to post a question to one group. Then, post the same
question to another group, and so on.

Cross-post means to put multiple groups in the field of what group to
post to. And this message is only posted once.

When a post is cross-posted, in all groups, the message(s) are 'tied
together'.

If you cross-post to group x, y & z, if someone posts a reply that
read your post in group z, the reply will also show up in groups x &
y.

If they are multi-posted, someone in group x could spend a
significant amount of time replying to your post. The reply however
won't show up in group y & z, and other may waste their time
answering it again, because they didn;t know it was already answered
in another group.
