Re: Missing original posts

Heirloom

The CDO is posting using Internet Explorer and is not relevant to your posts
being missing.

In Outlook Express select Tools, Options, Maintenance, Clean Up Now. Click
on the Browse button, select the newsgroup and click on Reset. This removes
all messages so that you can download again. Your original message should
appear.

The way you synchronise ( download messages ) needs to suit you.
However, when you set up a new newsgroup check the box in Tools,
Options, Read, Get xxx headers at a time (you can change the default to
any number between 50 and 999). Set the synchronisation to New not All.
Then select Tools, Get next xxx headers, after downloading has completed
select Tools, Mark for Offline and then select Synchronise, Newsgroup
and only those Marked. Remove the check mark in Tools, Options, Read,
Get xxx headers at a time. For all future downloads use Synchronise,
preferably Synchronise All. Using the procedure described for a large
newsgroup avoids downloading thousands of messages you may never read.

Another option if you read Online is to make your Synchronisation option
Headers only. You then select and download bodies for only those
messages you intend to read. Yet another alternative if you read
Offline, is to use Headers only and then to Mark selected Headers whilst
Offline and then Synchronise for marked messages reading the selected
messages later Offline.

It is quite common to see replies without the original message. People
reply to messages not seeing how long ago the original was posted. Also
they select the wrong message option thereby failing to post to the thread
where the original was posted,
