Robert,

There wouldn't have been a Message-ID for a message which never appeared!


Oh yes there would! ; ) Use Alt-Enter,Details and check for a References: header.
The first Message-ID in that header is likely to be the Message-ID of the opening post.
The last Message-ID in that header is almost certainly going to be the Message-ID
of the post that the message you are reading is a direct reply to.

In the case of messages composed by OE users an even simpler clue to use is the
news: link which is often generated. If that message exists on the server you are
using as your default news server clicking on it should download that message.

If the posts that you are missing are just normal NNTP missing posts isn't
that unusual depending on where they are coming from. E.g. check the Path:
header to see where it originated. Getting posts propagated through USENET
can be a bit of shooting gallery. ; )


HTH

Yesterday I made a response to a rec. group utilizing news.west.cox.net. When it hadn't appeared in a "reasonable" amount of time,
I made a similar one using Google Groups. That one showed up, the initial one never did. I shut down for the night

This morning I made a test post to cox.internet.general.test which didn't show up. Then one to motzarella.test using their server.
Neither showed up.

I wrote to Cox and got a form response which obviously hadn't been reviewed by a live person.

The note you saw, and responded to here, was posted using Google Groups. My second note utilized Cox, and this one Motzarella.

So I have no idea what the problem was, or what corrected it since I didn't do anything different in either instance.

Apparently my ISP found whatever the problem is/was, because it's working now... funny how that happens!


If you need more help post some details about specific examples.
E.g. include at least Message-ID and server information.

Also, be aware that there are known problems with posts originating
from the MS Communities web interface not being propagated to USENET.
So, what you can see happening there is not getting an opening post
and only becoming aware of it after seeing responses to that post
(from other web interface users), etc.

Yesterday I noticed that my posts to newsgroups weren't appearing.
I'm using OE6.00.29005512
I am able to read other people's current posts, but while my own
appear to send appropriately, they aren't appearing.
I've tried a couple of different servers, and have even tried using
their "test" groups, so apparently the problem isn't with either of
them.
My email is coming and going without any apparent problem.
