Success! success!! It was indeed the problem with the 'identity'
Created another identity, re-create my newsgroup account and all is back
to normal. The 'From' column is now populated with names of sender.
My thanks to SingaporeWebDesign and i_takeuti for the advise and tips.

Cheers to all.

Another happy news reader.

Hello,

This thread has some pointers.

The post by Lew details how he solved the issue

Quote:

Success!!!! Here's the sequence that fixes it. Note that my messages were previously backed up to an off site imap server. 1. Create a new identity with *no* news server subscriptions. Chose the name wisely, you can't change it later. 2. Delete *all* other identities, including "main identity." 3. Shut down outlook express. 4. Restart the machine. 5. Restart oe 6. *Manually* add mail and newss server accounts. -Lew

Hi all. In my OE6 Newsgroup, the 'From' column is blank. It never used
to be like that.
Any advise to resolve this much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
