Mike, Joan, Web and SS...

as to whether 'msnews. blah blah' and 'news. blah blah' are the
same,, well, i will take your word for that;;

Why question what I posted when it is so very simple to prove this for
yourself? Use PING, TRACERT or other favourite tool and you will find
that both msnews.microsoft.com and news.microsoft.com resolve to the same
IP address. Currently both resolve here to 207.46.248.16 but this can
vary as MS used to use two if not 3 IPs for their news server but that may
have now changed.

Please Note:
This message was sent using the address msnews.microsoft.com for the
Microsoft news server.

if both
addresses are the same, then why can i see on one, yet not
another..../? hmmmm

Because, in some way or other your PC is screwed. I've made various
suggestions as to what may be causing this.

news.microsoft.com is the same server as msnews.microsoft.com

I would therefore simply switch to using news.microsoft.com rather
than msnews.microsoft.com. Same newsgroups, same posts, even yours!

I'm sorry but I feel that you _have_ to have a rule somewhere that is
hiding your posts when posted to msnews.microsoft.com, especially so
since you say your posts to news.microsoft.com are showing. I
previously mentioned the possibility of your having blocked yourself
(blocked sender), or a newsgroup message rule, however there is also
the possibility of your having a customised view that is hiding your
messages but that's more unlikely since most users use the same view
regardless of the server they are using.

no mike,,,,, still none of your above.

but,,, something a tad odder has happened;;; when i said earlier
that i test posted to 'news.microsoft.com', and my post appeared
instantly, it was true,,,, but since then, i have realised that
other posts to same server/diff groups, have also not shown up.

as to whether 'msnews. blah blah' and 'news. blah blah' are the
same,, well, i will take your word for that;; but still cant
figure out why something like would or could or is happening. if both
addresses are the same, then why can i see on one, yet not
another..../? hmmmm
