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

CHECKED

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

UNCHECKED THAT

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

ALWAYS HAVE IT SET TO HIDE READ MESSAGE AND GROUP MESSAGES BY CONVERSATION
IS 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.

DID THAT, BUT NOT SURE WHY (g)

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

DID THAT TOO.

Sorry about that.....I hate using block caps, but it was just simply easier
than html. I do have the MS groups under the E.Sept. news
server.....perhaps I will put them back under Microsoft. Can you give me
the link to click on to get to that?? My memory went south a week ago, lol.

Hugs.....Heather (and I do count on you and the old Pooh Bear....and Little
Stevie Wonder....and where in heck is Majik these days??) See how little
problems I have with OE??

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.
