Happy New Year. I was wondering what has happened to the previous posts to this news group prior to December 30, 2009? ~alan

I'm using Windows Live Mail with the news reader and all of the messages prior to 12/31/09 dissappeared. I use Thunderbird on my Mac. I'll take a look on that.

Aioe.org only seems to retain a few days' worth, so maybe they did some year's end house cleaning :-) -- SC Tom

Hi, Alan. Check with your own ISP or news server as to their retention policies. Then check your settings in Windows Live Mail. There are at least a couple of places that can affect retention on your own computer. These settings haven't changed much since Outlook Express. In Tools | Options | Read, there is the "Get ___ headers..." setting, which can - in an active newsgroup - keep us from getting messages in the first place, but that's probably not your current problem. In Tools | Options | Advanced | Maintenance, there is a box to "Purge newsgroup messages in the background". Under this are a couple of subheadings: "Delete read message bodies in newsgroups" and "Delete news messages ___ days after being downloaded". The default number of days is 5, I believe, but we can enter just about any number we want - or UNcheck the box and have WLM keep the message forever - or until we delete them in some other way (intentionally or not). The "Clean Up Now..." button on that page will let you delete even more, in specific newsgroups or globally. My WLM shows 3032 messages in this NG, dated back to 10/17/09, when "Gadfly" started the first thread, "Any Body Else?" and I posted the first response. My ISP uses SuperNews - I THINK; might be GigaNews; I'm not sure how to tell. RC -- R. C.

My experience is that they retain only about 10 days' worth of this NG. I haven't looked at other newsgroups on aioe. -- Gene Bloch 650.366.4267 lettersatblochg.com
