I'm surprised you guys haven't thought of this in all these years, but there
seems to be no easy way to find one's posts. I have posted a few questions in recent weeks and the only way there seems to be to look for them is to search for some potential keywords from memory. Isn't there a way to look them up by my login ID? ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Isn't there a way to look them up by my login ID? No. They can be sorted by Date, which is the most logical. You can also sort them by Subject. You can flag your messages, then set flagged messages and the Reply to be listed first. If there are any new replies, the group will be highlighted in red (the default color, but you can change it). |

I forgot to mention, you can sort your messages by clicking the Heading at
the top of any column and sort by the contents of that column. So, if you have the FROM column as one of those that is visible, then you can click the column heading and the posts will be sorted by the Original Poster, then you can scroll the list to your name to find the posts you originated, and then view any responses you might have received. A shortcoming of this is that the Orignator of discussions is the way the sort works, so if you are a respondant, you can't find your posts this way. If you are an originator, the reply will all be in Date order. |

It's not going to matter in a short while since this newsgroup is going

The question is relevent whether it is covered here or elsewhere. |

Maybe you should get a better newsgroup reader if you use Outlook Express
and are not happy with it. There's a bunch of programs out there, some of them free and they have much more features. For Outlook Express it's as simple as sorting by From or Sent date.. takes 2 seconds to find a post of mine. "Kamran" wrote in message ...
