MS Outlook Express has little to do with what shows up in some header
lines. While you can control the name and email address, you can't
control
the IP address. The server you connect to sees your IP address, and
either
adds it, or not, depending upon how it is configured. That is up to the
NNTP
server administrator.

Consider your posting headers:

| NNTP-Posting-Date: Thu, 03 Jul 2008 16:47:25 -0500
| From: Rob
| X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.3138
| X-RFC2646: Format=Flowed; Original
| X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2900.3198
| Message-ID:
| X-Usenet-Provider: http://www.giganews.com
| NNTP-Posting-Host: 64.181.89.216

Those are some of the lines I would use to search on. You have control
over line 2. MSOE controls line 3. Your NNTP provider controls the rest.

So ......

You say you would search on certain lines in a header ....
Are lines 4 to end unique to me and identify me in all my posts?

Line 2 uniquely identifies you in all posts made using MS Outlook Express
as
you have configured it for posting in this news group.

Line 8 *may* also uniquely identify you, if Fibernet assigns it statically
to your account.

Line 6 uniquely identifies the particular post you made; from which I can
deduce that you use Earthlink as an ISP.

Together, lines 6, 7, and 8 identify with whom you have Internet service,
and NNTP service.

There are some NNTP services which don't display your NNTP Posting IP
address; but most do add something in the headers by which a reader can
classify a poster to some degree, or other.

I noticed something else this evening .................
I watched as Norton Antivirus scanned my HD tonight. VAV identified whay
it
called a "Tracking Cookie". Could this possibly be something this
"character" is using to track my posts to newsgroups?

No. There are no cookies used on NNTP servers accessed by news clients,
such
as MS Outlook Express. Cookies are used between web browsers and servers,
and would only affect your news group reading if you accessed news groups
through a web service, such as Google Groups.

No.

I could if I wanted to, yes. So could any number of trojans.

Would you email me at and show me how it is done. I
don't
think it would be wise to post how it is done here in public!

Using that email address, I can also find your posting history via

...Could a Cookie on my computer detect

If you post via OE or another newsreader, no.

Good information! Ok...., you can find messages in this newsgroup from
me,
can you automate responding to my messages with a standard response?

You said:
No cookies are involved when accessing newsgroups via a newsreader


Would you please explain that further. Could a Cookie on my computer
detect
each time I posted to a specified newsgroup?

Thanks for all the information you can provide!!!

You can just plug the IP address into the Google search bar. By itself,
the
results could be ambiguous. You can refine the results by combining the
search with other keywords.

it called a "Tracking Cookie". Could this possibly be something this
"character" is using to track my posts to newsgroups?

No. There are no cookies used on NNTP servers accessed by news clients,
such as MS Outlook Express. Cookies are used between web browsers and
servers, and would only affect your news group reading if you accessed
news groups through a web service, such as Google Groups.
Line 8 *may* also uniquely identify you, if Fibernet assigns it
statically
to your account.

How do I do a search on newsgroup headers? Specifically, how would I
search
Line 8 of all posts to find 64.181.89.216?

Can't be done in MS Outlook Express.

Another question ......
What is "Fibernet"?

Apparently this service:

http://www.wvfibernet.net/

I would guess that they are your ISP.

Can I Google on an IP? If Yes, how?

You can just plug the IP address into the Google search bar. By itself,
the
results could be ambiguous. You can refine the results by combining the
search with other keywords.

Extract the messages to .nws files and then search the news files.

Since both WLMail and WM use real .nws files already (instead
of .dbx) for their Message Stores you could probably use them directly...
