Thank you, Bruce. I was just curious whether Robear was referring to
something other than MIME headers.

The OP is using Outlook Express, (IMHO a much better choice), as his
newsreader. Checking the message headers are the same as in an e-mail.

The OP's headers a

X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.2180
X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2900.2180

If he was fully updated, they would read:

X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.3028
X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2900.3028

Those are mine, free for you to see. There is no snooping going on.
