Default Missing posts???

OT: I've purposely not edited your quoted reply below to illustrate all of
the unnecessary spacing between paragraphs, etc. Are you composing replies
in OE or, e.g., Word?

Can I ask, if a post sent to a newsgroup does not get through, would I
receive a not delivered notification?


No.

As most, or nearly all of my posts are getting through, could you explain
why my alias is less than ideal, an then I can alter it.


Try changing it to invalid_invalid@, invalidinvalid@ or just invalid@: There
shouldn't be any periods before the [AT] symbol. Then again, OE "View |
Current View | Show replies to my messages" would no longer show your
earlier posts as "yours" after you do so.

P.S. Just in case you cannot see it, my message/post has arrived on the
newsgroup in my OE newsgroup...


They've not shown up here nor in web-based newsgroup (for me at least):
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...outlookexpress

That being said, there have been all sorts of "synchronizing" problems with
the newsservers since April 2009 or so but usually posts made & read via
NNTP (a newsreader) have not been effected.

That being said, you're access this newsgroup via the MS newsserver
news://msnews.microsoft.com, right?

Hi PA and thanks for your reply,



I changed the mail ID from my email address early Dec 09, when I was
alarmed
to discover it “published” on the internet accessed newsgroups, I have
accessed the newsgroups many times successfully since the change as I have
finally for the thread above and for this one. Quite what happened to the
missing two posts I am mystified, they show as being sent in my sent items
folder?



Can I ask, if a post sent to a newsgroup does not get through, would I
receive a not delivered notification? I can’t see how it be returned if it
does not have my email address.

What happens to them, are they stuck on a server somewhere or do they get
deleted?



I have always accessed the newsgroups via my OE and you have personally
been
keeping me afloat for around 6 or 8 years now.



As most, or nearly all of my posts are getting through, could you explain
why my alias is less than ideal, an then I can alter it.



Many thank



Steve



P.S. Just in case you cannot see it, my message/post has arrived on the
newsgroup in my OE newsgroup, it’s the next one up. well on my screen
anyway

I can guarantee you that your mail alias has
something to do with it.

PS: Your repost hasn't shown up here either though it made it to Google
Groups somehow:

Hi team,

I have post to questions recently entitled "Compacting........or rather
not
quite...."

One dated...01 February 2010 23:50
The other....03 February 2010 13:13

To this newsgroup:-
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlooke xpress

Has anyone found them or know of their whereabouts, as I am beginning to
get
quite concerned?

Have they been kidnapped or taken to another newsgroup?
