    I was going through some of the news groupls i belong to and noticed that all the messages before 11/18/2005 had dissapeared. I had some dating back as far as 08/2004. Can some tell me what has happened to them? I suspect since they were probably sitting on a server somewhere that they were either removed or deleted. I held onto them as reference material

    I use OE6. Only reason i still use it is i have become use to it and know how to work it fairly throughly now.

    I use earthlink. and i use both msnews.microsoft.com and news.west.earthlink.net from where i pull my news groups from

    1.) What happened to them?
    2.) Is there anyway i can recover them?
    3.) I just did a compact the other day, could that of been the culprete?

    You can try groups.google.com, they archive quite a few of the Usenet groups.

    The alternative is to reset you cache files on OE and reload the headers.

    I would try google first...much easier.

    Thanks.

    I will look into google user groups.

    But reseting the cach and reloading the headers in OE how far back will it take me? Any idea.

    Again thanks
