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?

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

Yes I do compose in word normally, then P&C onto here, point taken will

I have no idea, how do I find out? I just followed your instructions to
access the newsgroups via OE and as said they are listed in my folders
list - I just select ctrl +w and select "subscribe" to choose the newsgroup
I need.
And I am quite happy with this method.

I don't know what you mean by "MS newsserver", as far as I know these posts
get sent out the same route as my normal emails, i.e via my outgoing ISP.

I am mistified as to why you cannot see my "original" email, yet your can
see this thread, as I said I can now see the other thread/post listed right
obove this one.

Should I send the original email yet again?

Cheers

I can see this thread, and I /believe/ all your posts from today. If you
are asking if I can see these:

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

No. AFAIK, they never got here.

Regarding your news server. What is listed as your news server in the OE
folder tree after your local folders? Or, Tools | Accounts | News? If
you're not using msnews.microsoft.com to post here, you should. You will
probably see better results.

I thought so. When composing a post or email in Word, only use ENTER (once)
to begin a new paragraph. To begin a new line when necessary, use
SHIFT+ENTER.

You are not "sending (an) email" when posting to this newsgroup.

Hi PA,

Oh dear!!!! I'm to say the least......a little puzzled?????

Yes!! when I clicked on the link it opened the newsgroup in my OE upper
window pane downloaded for a little while (synchronized??) and showed the
messages in the newsgroup..........BUT now I have two versions.
One existing version "with" my "missing" post showing as the message above
this one dated:-

Compacting........or rather not quite.... 03 February 2010 17:31(this is the
post I sent the other day when I asked you to hold on in jest of course



One dated...01 February 2010 23:50
The other....03 February 2010 13:13(these two "have" actually vanished, even
I have never seen them)


I think it will be easier if I send some screenshots.....if I can that
is????



Cheers...........Steve

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

accessing it via your ISP-provided newsserver?

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

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?
