There wouldn't be a Message-ID for a post which was never posted. Whether
a
post "appears" depends upon client settings, so it is entirely possible
that
a post could not "appear" in a client, yet be available on a server.

Thanks Norman! I was really getting the feeling that there was a lack of
communication!

I sent test posts which never appeared. Not on Cox, Motzarella or Google
Groups. I think that it would be safe to say they never appeared anywhere.
I
made similar posts using Cox and Motzarella, none of which appeared in any
of those places and that led me to believe that the issue was on my end. I
double checked my OE settings to make sure nothing had changed them, and
they were the same as they had been.

As mysteriously as it began, it resolved itself.

FWIW, this is the header from one of the notes...

Well... the story now has another chapter! Below is the header for a note
which just appeared. As you can see, I sent it Wednesday via Cox and while
the header would seem to indicate that it appeared the next day, it didn't.
