  Without even looking first at your message header I knew you were using MS
Outlook Express.

  This question and similar ones occur often enough to warrant an article in
the p.a.f-a-q group on how to use Outlook Express settings.

  In the event I have made an erroneous assumption, which posts in
particular are you referring to (thread Subject, date, etc.)?

Yep I DO use Outlook Express.  I don't think you made an erroneous
assumption...I did.  I looked in the options and there is a setting "delete
news messages XX amount of days after being downloaded.  It was set to 5
days.  Obviously I have erased my own messages!  That option is now turned
OFF.

Thank you!

I have it set to mark all posts as read when exiting a ng, and then delete
all read posts on OE exit, and manually compact..
