Thanks, Michael. I trust that "Local Folders" are those so marked in the
Folders view and NOT those that fall directly under the the listed user
groups I subscribe to?

P.S. Thanks, Tina. Your heart was in the right place... I think.

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?
