Re: viewing Microsoft newsgroups on Outlook Express newsgroups

You need to use the same e-mail address in both places. That's what
determines "my messages".

The problem is viewing Microsoft newsgroups on Outlook Express
newsgroups.

If I sort the messages by "from" to see my messages I see (for
example) 11
messages (see http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/7084/33xf5.gif )

But when selecting : View menu - Current View - Show Replies To My
Messages

and there some messages are missing (all I can see is 8 messages)
(see
http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/2816/22fu2.gif)

Some missing elements do have replies !!!

where are my "missing" messages ????????????


In the excluded range. The problem is obviously that you wrote
3 messages using a different E-mail address but with the same
display name.

Let's check. I see 4 messages from BoazBoaz
but only 2 of them use the E-mail address in this reply.

Oh, I see what is probably causing your problem.
You are posting using both OE where you are using
your real E-mail address and you are posting using the web interface
where you are using the default fake E-mail address.
The Show replies to my messages option works only
by E-mail address, not by From field display name.
So, to see your other threads you could temporarily
change your news account's properties to use the
other E-mail address. Then Show replies to my messages
would be based on that.
