Outlook Express deletes messages when the news server does. To avoid
the problem in the future, copy any news posts that you want to keep to
a Local Folder in OE.
To find an old post no longer on the news server, you'll need to go to a
web archive site, such as
http://groups.google.com/

I'm an ocassional user of IE6... principally for computer help from
newsgroups. I've been ignoring an MS popup window asking if I wanted
to compress files but inadvertantly answered "Yes". Subsequently, a
message in an MS Outlook BCM forum "disappeared"; probably some other
old ones as well. Can someone please tell me were I can find that
archive and what I have to do to view it again?
