Sorry for doing this here, but I have to see if I can post into this
newsgroup... two of my posted answers in the thread with the subject "Need Help with Alpha into Numeric expressions (not ASCII/ANSI/Etc." are not showing up in my newsreader or the online Microsoft forum for this newsgroup as far as I can tell... so I wanted to see if I have any access at the current time or not. -- Rick (MVP - Excel) |

Rick, I had a similar experience yesterday. In one particular thread, one
response of mine (a previous day) appeared, as did a test response, but one particular response did not appear when I used the MSNews server. I tried several times in a period about 24 hours; none appears even today. But the exact same response (copy and paste) did appear on the Google Groups and MS Discussion Groups servers when I posted it through each server. (They still not appear on the MSNews server). In m.p.test.here, I discovered that I could post the text of that response as both a new message and a response using the MSNews server, and the text of the response appeared on the MSNews server when I posted a new message using Google Groups. (I could not get to m.p.test.here using the MSDG server.) But if I tried to post a response to the GG message using the MSNews server, it did not appear on any of the MSNews, GG or MSDG servers, suggesting that the MSNews server dropped the message. My first thought was: the problem was due to a very long line that I had in the text. But the response to the GG message continued to fail to appear even if I broke up the line manually. My suspicion is: the MSNews server is dropping some responses (only to GG messages?!) if they have a certain form (TBD). That does not make much sense to me. But it is the only explanation that I have so far that fits all of the facts. ----- original message ----- "Rick Rothstein" wrote in message ...

I'm at a complete loss because a response to my own Testing message failed
to be posted. I'm only guessing that this one will get through.

My only means of posting to and reading from the MSNews server is Outlook Express. So I cannot distinguish which one might be at fault. I just did a network trace and confirmed that OE does indeed transmit the "offending" message. I was about to say more, but something very strange just happened. Clearly I need to investigate further, trying to differentiate between MSNews behavior and OE behavior and/or usage. ----- original message ----- "Rick Rothstein" wrote in message ...

I experience this behavior every now and then. Most recently, about a week
ago. I send a reply but it doesn't show up, not even in OE. The thread will be marked that I replied to it but my reply never shows up *anywhere*. Not in OE, not in Google Groups, not in the MS website. Oh well! -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Rick Rothstein" wrote in message ...

Yep, that is the problem... Windows Mail (like your OE) marked the message
as being replied to, but the reply appears not to ever make it to the server for posting. Strange that this also happened in this thread... I sent a follow up message to it and it never got displayed, yet other messages I posted to this thread are showing up.

Okay, this is interesting... I just tried to post the code in a response to
you and it never appeared in this subthread... it appears there is something in the code, or my surrounding text around it, that is being blocked somewhere within the trip between my computer and Microsoft's server. -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "Rick Rothstein" wrote in message ...

I'm going to be moving over to Win7 pretty soon... what do you use for your
newsreader (Outlook can't do newsgroups, right)?

i'm using windows mail from vista. i copied the folder structure from my vista
install. you can make some reg changes to make it work correctly with the email side, but since i just use it for newsgroups, i just copy the folder. when you're ready, let me know and i can tell you exactly what to do, if you want to continue to use winmail in windows 7. -- Gary Keramidas Excel 2003 "Rick Rothstein" wrote in message ...
