Hi, Heather. In Tools | Accounts | News | Properties (for Eternal September)
| General Tab, is "Include this account......" checked?

I would also suggest unchecking: Get XXX Headers at a time in Tools |
Options | Read. You /may/ need to reset any specific group.

While in a newsgroup: View | Current View. Make sure Show All Messages and
Group Messages By Conversation are checked.

Right click on the newsgroup in the Folder Tree | Properties | Local File |
Reset. Switch to another folder and then back and all available messages
will be downloaded again.

Or go to Tools | Options | Maintenance | Clean Up Now and choose the group,
or server at the top and then Reset.

Hi All......

Seeing as no one has answered my question on Eternal-September, could you
help me out.

I have reformatted and can't seem to get the news groups to download with
the mail when I hit send/receive. I have gone over the settings and I do
get all of the posts, but have to do it manually.

Some *nimble**** suggested I synchronize (in a patronizing
tone......grrr). It is all set up as before, but as PA knows, I have have
had numerous problems since July. I now have a new hard drive.....8-((

But on the bright side, the old HD is on here as a slave and I copied a
lot of stuff over. It is updating a 4 year old XP SP3 that is tedious.
