I posted on one of the MSFT newsgroups via the NNTP reader setup (XPP SP2
box) and usually the posts take very little time to show but it never did.
It wasn't stuck in outbox; I wasn't having any ISP server problems or errors
that suggest it, and I did not find my post on a search. What I did see
though was an answer to my post with my post showing as usual in the answer
but not separately. I tried rearranging the order of the sent and from
posts and my post simply wasn't there.

How does this happen? I have it syncronized to download all posts.

TIA,

Chad Harris

Did you use msnews.microsoft.com as the NNTP server or your ISP's server?

I've seen a lot of ISPs not show complete posts due to various reason
(mostly cost cutting to not have to deal with news).

Good point. I use msnews.microsoft.com and you're right on target there.
MY ISP uses that in fact.

Thanks,

Chad

Make sure you have View | Current View | Show all messages checked. And
uncheck the option to download xxx headers at a time under Tools | Options |
Read, as that does not always get the newest messages.

Are you having trouble seeing any of your other posts? Take a look at
Tools, Messages Rules, Block Sender List. It's easy to accidentally
block yourself.

In Outlook Express select Tools, Options, Maintenance, Clean Up Now. Click
on the Browse button, select the newsgroup and click on Reset. This removes
all messages so that you can download again. Your original message should
appear.

The way you synchronise ( download messages ) needs to suit you.
However, when you set up a new newsgroup check the box in Tools,
Options, Read, Get xxx headers at a time (you can change the default to
any number between 50 and 999). Set the synchronisation to New not All.
Then select Tools, Get next xxx headers, after downloading has completed
select Tools, Mark for Offline and then select Synchronise, Newsgroup
and only those Marked. Remove the check mark in Tools, Options, Read,
Get xxx headers at a time. For all future downloads use Synchronise,
preferably Synchronise All. Using the procedure described for a large
newsgroup avoids downloading thousands of messages you may never read.

Another option if you read Online is to make your Synchronisation option
Headers only. You then select and download bodies for only those
messages you intend to read. Yet another alternative if you read
Offline, is to use Headers only and then to Mark selected Headers whilst
Offline and then Synchronise for marked messages reading the selected
messages later Offline.
