I am using OE6 as a newsreader in XP Pro SP2. When I send a message to a
newsgroup my message and all replies to it are not showing up in the
messages received list. If I open Find and search under subject for the
subject I know I used, then my message and all replies show up in the list.
I can then open the replies and reply to them. Later I can do another Find
and my reply to the reply will be there, but none of these messages appear
when I just log onto the newsgroup and download all messages.

Is there a fix?

Thanks,
Gene

Leave Get xxx headers unchecked. Unsubscribe from the XP newsgroup.
Close OE and delete the dbx file for that newsgroup.

Reboot the computer, open OE and Compact your folders.

Resubscribe to the newsgroup and see if that helps.

I followed the above procedure twice, and it has not helped. I also
followed PA Bear's advice and rechecked the View | Current View setting
for all newsgroups, and they are the same as instructed.

When I do a Find on the other newsgroup I can continue to carry on the
conversation with the fellow who is trying to help me with the network
problem, but I just cannot see the conversation in the normal way, as I
can with other newsgroups.

In your instructions you told me to unsubscribe, close OE, and delete the
dbx file. While subscribed I opened Windows Explorer and verified the dbx
file was there, and closed Explorer. After unsubscribing and closing OE I
opened Explorer and the dbx file was gone. OE apparently deleted it (but
it was not in the Recycle Bin). This happened both times I tried your
instructions. Could the fact it is not there for me to manually delete
possibly affect the results?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Gene


Are these newsgroups other than MSNews? Does it happen for /all/ news
servers and groups? If it does, then the only thing left that I can think
of is trying in a new identity.

File | Identity | Add New Identity. Create a new one and test it. If all
is well, you can import your messages and Address Book from the old
identity and delete it.

The problem group in also on MSNEWS. At the moment I am monitoring two news
servers (msnews and news.jrsoftware.org), with several groups in each
server. The microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web group is the only one
with problems. I will try your solution as soon as I have a break, and will
then report back. Thanks for your continued help.
