Somehow this post and a reply sent via Google Groups did not appear on
my server, although others have been OK, and they are in the Google
archives. A similar thing happened a while ago, where my original post
disappeared but later responses were OK. Maybe it's some weirdness with
OE (Outhouse Excuse?)

Your posts aren't disappearing. You tacked them onto the end of one of
your old posts from June 2nd.

That is really quite odd. I see that the title is *almost* the same, but it
was posted as a New Post, and it appears as such in the Google archives.
Perhaps the list is ordered according to a certain number of characters in
the subject line. I really need to clean out my newsreader, as I have posts
all the way back to 9/26/06, and that's a huge file.

But if you see the posts tacked on, then it must be a problem in the way OE
formats the header when it is sent to the news servers. That's not my area
of expertise; maybe someone else can explain what happened.

Thanks for the information!

Maybe I should try another newsreader.
