The Microsoft web interface to the NNTP newsgroups has always pretty well
sucked. Not easy to use effectively, messages not seen or not threaded
properly. All this "If it's helpful, click Yes" junk. Once in a while I try
it again, and always quit after a few posts.

I generally use IE 7 since I don't have OE on all systems I visit this
board
on.

It's too odd - earlier I received notification that you (and David) had
responded to my post and when I got here, the damned "Community Message is
Not Available" (or words to that effect) message was again shown instead
of
all of the thread. I just retried from same machine, same browser and now
it's all being displayed.

Earlier today it wouldn't show me any postings for the 23rd and only a few
(at one point, only 1) from the 24th. It's been acting this way for 2 or
3
days now. Very frustrating to try to help someone and not be able to
because
of wimp-strength tools.

Thanks to both you and Dave for the OE setup link, much appreciated.
