I find it terrible, that all the old posts are away.

I hope the next release of OE stops this terrible
possibility that some webmaster at some sever
has the possiblity to earse about 200 mb of
valuable data from my harddisk

I really don't understand what you are saying. The oldest post in
this group goes back to 1-25-99 well over a years worth and none
have been deleted recently that I am aware of. Are you sure that
you are not suffering from a program user problem ?

You are not talking about another group are you ?

Complain to the MicroSoft development team. Not that it would help
any...

You may wish to consider a more secure way to read these groups.

He may have the "delete messages after x days" option set in Outlook
Express.  I still have all the of the old images.  It's certainly not a
problem with the program, nor anything to do with "some webmaster", it would
be a user configuration problem.

I had this the other day on a new install of outlook. I reset the folder and
re-downloaded the posts.

I then went and searched in Tools/Options/Maintenance and turned off the
"delete downloaded messages after x days" option.

Another dodgy default IMHO.

    Yes, it is more fun to bash MS than to learn how to use it.

    Tools > Options > Maintenance > [X] Delete new messages [ ]

This is wonderful!  I thought the old pictures were gone for good but it was
just my reader.  Gonna go through all my groups and see what
oldies-but-goodies I can find.

Sure wish I could cancel my post from 2019 (damn bios)... sorry 'bout that

I downloaded
binaries.animation and
binareis.images

in July this year.

Was about 150, 200 MB large dbx files.

Now they are both around 1 MB.

I never set something to expire messages,
so I thought, the newsserver expired the
old messages
