Re: Create emergency repair disks from recovery console?

I may have mislead you .... It's not a top vs bottom posting issue (I agree with you about top posting but lets not start that discussion here (:-) ).

What happens is that my reader doesn't quote your *whole* message just the most recent part. (For example, the quoted part shown in this message is all I got of your previous message (qv) when I hit reply).

I've not seen this behaviour before. With anyone else's posts, I get everything - all the previous quotes, warts and all. (Just thinking ...perhaps the quote character you use has a peculiar effect on Mozilla. Is it user selectable in OE?)

As for the news server, I run a small local news server (Hamster) which picks up the same groups from several external servers including news.microsoft.com and newsfeeds.com. It has the advantage that if one server goes down or is incomplete the messages will be available from another. Also, for example, the server I had selected for posting my messages seemed to be failing to post them this weekend. It's then trivial to switch posting to another of the subscribed servers. (Which is actually why my messages are currently showing the newsfeeds.com tagline).

(It also has the disadvantage that the local Hamster server necessarily only serves the actual groups that you subscribe to. If you reply to a message that is cross-posted to a group you don't subscribe to, that reply isn't posted at all).

I'm using OE and it may well be something that outlook express does. OE is a top posting reader which from my perspective is correct. I always trim all except the text of what I'm replying to. If I had to scroll to the bottom of each message to read the latest then I would end up being far less productive as far as learning and answering goes. You can view the internet headers for some of these messages and see whether we're using a news reader or CDO and if the former you can also see (among other things) the posting host.

BTW you don't need newsfeeds.com to view and or participate in these Microsoft groups. You can point your news reader to news.microsoft.com
