In case I was unclear, the entire thread is "invisible" when "Group
Messages" is set -- the two responses as well as the initial posting.

Likewise, the entire thread becomes visible when "Group Messages" is unset.

I could try removing the NG from the account, then re-subscribing to see if
the thread becomes visible when "Group Messages" is set. I could also first
try subscribing to the NG to another account to see if the thread is visible
there when "Group Messages" is set.

But since both actions might change state, I want to wait before trying them
in case you or someone else wants me to look at the current state.

No reasonable way for me know. I am not about to make a list of all
threads visible when "Group Messages" is not set, then crossreference them
to all threads visible when "Group Messages" is set (my normal mode).

(But if you can suggest a way that I could automate such a crossreference,
I would be happy to try. I am curious, too, about how many threads I
might not be seeing when "Group Messages" is set.)

I can only know about "interesting" threads. I stumbled across this one
when someone in another thread complained that the OP had posted two
essentially identical inquiries in separate threads. I used Find to
locate the other thread, then I set the flag. But when I returned to the
NG listing with "Group Messages" set, I did not see anything with the flag
set. As an experiment, I unset "Group Messages", and voila!, there was my
flagged posting. Of course, the intent of flagging the posting and
setting "Group Messages" was to find the responses easily.

Fortunately, in this case, they were not difficult to spot even with
"Group Messages" unset. But I am still concerned about the situation.


What newsgroup?

microsoft.public.excel.worksheet.functions.

The "invisible" thread has the subject "Formula", author Jules, date
7/27/09 5:18 PM, with responses posted at 5:42 PM and 7:05 PM. (All times
are PDT.)

The "duplicate" thread has the subject "How to write a formulae" [sic],
author Jules, date 7/27/09 5:38 PM, with responses posted at 5:43 PM and
5:47 PM.

I have no problem seeing the "duplicate" thread with and without "Group
Messages" set.

There is a thread that I can see (in pieces) when "Group Messages by
Conversation" is not set, but I cannot see it when "Group Messages by
Conversation" is set.

I assume I am doing something wrong. But what is it?
