The MS server farm has been having troubles for over a week with
synchronizatio, apparently due to overload. When you get a "message
no longer available" notice, you're probably connecting to a
different server than the one you got your article list from.

You can try to resynch, but I suspect the servers are in for a long
period of instability with the swen worm. Or you can use a different
newsserver.

I posted a message to this effect to the programming NG and never saw it.
That's one problem.
The original post was asking why 9 out of 10 posts that I click on in
these newsgroups come up with the message "Message is no longer available on
the server.
My server is msnews.microsoft.com. Thanks for your help. Otto
