You should be able to highlight the message text in the error window

then paste that text into the problem description using the Ctrl-V key
combination.

I just got an error that I have been getting a lot of that says the NNTP
server is not responding and I am unable to highlight any text what so ever.
Does your system also respond this way to errors or are you able to copy the
text? I can not no matter how I try it.

Sometimes the message is sent right away and sometimes it is not.
Sometimes I get an error when changing groups and it takes forever
to
catch up while other groups seem to have no delay. I am wondering
if there is more than one problem or it has to do with Comcast or
what. If I go to the outbox and make it send it will go off right
away.

I see this intermittent sending problem on one of the 4 news servers
that I use, annoying true, but it is a server problem.
Going to the Outbox will change nothing, pure coincidence I would
say?

What is the error on changing groups?

Have you compacted your message store? Those delays are caused by
bloated .dbx files.
Select Outlook Express in the folder treefile menuwork
offlinefile menucompactall folders. Do not touch the machine
until compaction completes.

One thing that really sucks about those error windows is that you can
not copy them and paste them to anything. I hate having to write down
anything any more when at the keyboard. Boooo.
