Missing posts???

Hi team,

I have post to questions recently entitled "Compacting........or rather not
quite...."

One dated...01 February 2010 23:50
The other....03 February 2010 13:13

To this newsgroup:-
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlooke xpress

Has anyone found them or know of their whereabouts, as I am beginning to get
quite concerned?

Have they been kidnapped or taken to another newsgroup?



Sleepless in Seattle

I don't recall seeing any posts here in quite some time with "Compacting"
in the subject field. Sure you didn't see them somewhere else?

Were you accessing this newsgroup via the MS newserver or were you
accessing it via your ISP-provided newsserver?

I can guarantee you that your mail alias has
something to do with it.

PS: Your repost hasn't shown up here either though it made it to Google
Groups somehow:
http://groups.google.com/group/micro...1c8bf2523cfaca

Hi PA and thanks for your reply,



I changed the mail ID from my email address early Dec 09, when I was alarmed
to discover it “published” on the internet accessed newsgroups, I have
accessed the newsgroups many times successfully since the change as I have
finally for the thread above and for this one. Quite what happened to the
missing two posts I am mystified, they show as being sent in my sent items
folder?



Can I ask, if a post sent to a newsgroup does not get through, would I
receive a not delivered notification? I can’t see how it be returned if it
does not have my email address.

What happens to them, are they stuck on a server somewhere or do they get
deleted?



I have always accessed the newsgroups via my OE and you have personally been
keeping me afloat for around 6 or 8 years now.



As most, or nearly all of my posts are getting through, could you explain
why my alias is less than ideal, an then I can alter it.



Many thank



Steve



P.S. Just in case you cannot see it, my message/post has arrived on the
newsgroup in my OE newsgroup, it’s the next one up. well on my screen
anyway

OT: I've purposely not edited your quoted reply below to illustrate all of
the unnecessary spacing between paragraphs, etc. Are you composing replies
in OE or, e.g., Word?

Can I ask, if a post sent to a newsgroup does not get through, would I
receive a not delivered notification?

No.

As most, or nearly all of my posts are getting through, could you explain
why my alias is less than ideal, an then I can alter it.

Try changing it to invalid_invalid@, invalidinvalid@ or just invalid@: There
shouldn't be any periods before the [AT] symbol. Then again, OE "View |
Current View | Show replies to my messages" would no longer show your
earlier posts as "yours" after you do so.

P.S. Just in case you cannot see it, my message/post has arrived on the
newsgroup in my OE newsgroup...

They've not shown up here nor in web-based newsgroup (for me at least):
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...outlookexpress

That being said, there have been all sorts of "synchronizing" problems with
the newsservers since April 2009 or so but usually posts made & read via
NNTP (a newsreader) have not been effected.

That being said, you're access this newsgroup via the MS newsserver
news://msnews.microsoft.com, right?

Yes I do compose in word normally, then P&C onto here, point taken will
close gaps in future.

That being said, you're access this newsgroup via the MS newsserver
news://msnews.microsoft.com, right?

I have no idea, how do I find out? I just followed your instructions to
access the newsgroups via OE and as said they are listed in my folders
list - I just select ctrl +w and select "subscribe" to choose the newsgroup
I need.
And I am quite happy with this method.

I don't know what you mean by "MS newsserver", as far as I know these posts
get sent out the same route as my normal emails, i.e via my outgoing ISP.

I am mistified as to why you cannot see my "original" email, yet your can
see this thread, as I said I can now see the other thread/post listed right
obove this one.

Should I send the original email yet again?

Cheers

Steve

Many thanks

I can see this thread, and I /believe/ all your posts from today. If you
are asking if I can see these:

One dated...01 February 2010 23:50
The other....03 February 2010 13:13

No. AFAIK, they never got here.

Regarding your news server. What is listed as your news server in the OE
folder tree after your local folders? Or, Tools | Accounts | News? If
you're not using msnews.microsoft.com to post here, you should. You will
probably see better results.

I thought so. When composing a post or email in Word, only use ENTER (once)
to begin a new paragraph. To begin a new line when necessary, use
SHIFT+ENTER.

You are not "sending (an) email" when posting to this newsgroup.

What does clicking on the following link do on your computer? =
