I am using OE, why do I see the lst message posted as from back in June? I have set to download all messages. >I am using OE, why do I see the lst message posted as from back in >June? I have set to download all messages. Davo, when did you subscribe to the group? OE can only download a maximum of 1000 messages at a time. Perhaps you're still catching up to the current. You can right-click the group name and select 'Catch Up', this will mark all messages in the group as read, then tell OE to only download New Messages. It also might be that you are using the date field to sort by (and it is sorted by oldest on top). In that case, click the header block above the date (it is marked Sent), and you will see the messages sort themselves by oldest/newest. They will reverse order every time you click it. If these suggestions don't work, then maybe you should go ask about it in a MS OE group what might be wrong. > I am using OE, why do I see the lst message posted as from back in June?

Try suggesting at newsreader that is at least decent, such as Free Agent. >>>I am using OE, why do I see the lst message posted as from back in June? I >>>have set to download all messages.

Andrew - that's a load of rubbish and you know it... ;o) His problem is most likely that he's using his ISP's news server (USWest.net) which doesn't support this group properly. This is where the words "retention" and "completeness" start getting bandied about. Davo - suggest you sign up with someone like http://teranews.com/ - it's free. You're limited to 50mb download a day, but as long as you stick to reading non-binary groups like this one you'll never have any problems. >> You have just answered your own question.

Well, in this case it's not good enough advice, is it now? It's highly unlikely that OE is causing his problem, regardless of what you think of it. >Well, in this case it's not good enough advice, is it now? It's highly >unlikely that OE is causing his problem, regardless of what you think of it. It causes 99.9% of the Usenet client related problems I read, sorry to the OP if this falls into the the other 0.1% category, but even if it works flawlessly, it is still sound advice.

OE has never caused me, nor anyone I know, problems with Usenet for non-binary related reading. The vast majority of problems that I've seen are caused by having a crap news server. The lack of headers in this case would strongly suggest this to me. This constant OE bashing is as tiring as the old anti-top-posting whining that has, thankfully, mostly died out these days.

I have a "mate" who uses them in an email just after he's given you a good textual kicking. He must think it softens the blow or something... > It causes 99.9% of the Usenet client related problems I read Read? - no personal experience? :) I've been using variuos version of OE for ~ 10 years One just have to remember to add QuoteFix and it's fine http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/oe-quotefix/ - Peter |
