How do I get it so that all my emails show up on both

From your headers:

X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.2527

You need to make a change.

Tools Options Send:

News Sending Format should be "Plain Text". "Plain Text" settings should be
MIME, Encode text using: None.

"Automatically wrap text at 76 characters, when sending." would be a nice
setting, too. I wouldn't wind up with a single quoted line extending beyond
the right edge of my news reader.

You can also change your quote character, the one which leads the quoted
text, here. Assuming you dislike the default, "", as some do.

Your mulitpart post takes up about twice as much space as a plain text post
would take up.

If you _need_ to post using multipart with HTML, you can select that as an
option from the "Format" menu in the menu bar of a compose window. Save the
HTML news posts for groups like
'microsoft.public.outlook.express.stationery', or
'microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlook express.stationery'. Or
any other group which explicitly permits HTML in posts. Don't assume that
it is acceptable unless you have some explicit indication that it is.
Although most of the "msnews" hierarchy is not all that critical, other
places in the Usenet can be very critical of HTML posts. It tends to lead
to flame wars in some groups.

To your problem: The cheapo solution has already been given; leave messages
on the server until both computers have downloaded them. Or, if your
provider offers IMAP service, set up an IMAP account. The messages are
stored on the IMAP server until you explicitly delete them, and are
available from any computer on which you can set up an IMAP client.

Or, you can run a local IMAP server. I do, using Mercury/32:

http://www.pmail.com/overviews/ovw_mercury.htm

I use the "Mercury Distributing POP3 Client" to fetch all email from all
POP3 servers I have access to. Then I set up the "Mercury IMAP4 Server". I
use the computer which is on most of the time to hold the messages. Set up
a mail client, MS Outlook Express in your case, to access the computer with
the message store using an IMAP account. I use the computer name; the
computer IP address can be used, but you need a static IP address
configuration to do that.
