1a. "Missing" posts: There have been ongoing problems on Microsoft's end for
almost a year now. Sometimes newsgroup posts appear, sometimes they don't.
It's frustrating for all of us but there's nowt we can do about it. (This
affects both the public and private MS newsgroups BTW.)
If one or more of your posts never appear in your newsreader, use Google
Groups as a fall-back. If you find a post there, it made it to the master
newsserver but it may not have made it to the slave newsserver to which your
newsreader's connected at the time. (There is a master newsserver and many
slave newsservers. The "ongoing" problem concerns one or more of the slave
newsservers not synchronizing with the master newsserver.)
2. If you have an Outlook Express-specific question, begin *your own new
thread* in OE General, not WinXP General, newsgroup. Even if a previous
thread's subject looks like it pertains to your question or problem, never
"hijack" someone else's thread.
3. If you're referring to Outlook Express (OE), don't call it Outlook (OL)
in your posts. OE & OL are not the same application.
Note: I've found one (1) your "Problem with jpg attachments" posts (dated 01
Mar-10) in Google Groups. I will reply to it via Google Groups and we'll
see if my post shows up in our newsreaders.

I have posted the jpg thing 4 times on OE General, and none of them have
appeared in that newsgroup. One did appear on the associated
GoogleNewsgroup.OEGeneral I have X-posted twice to try and get a
constructive suggestion on what to do. Interestingly, both these posts
did
appear.
I still have the original problem.

FWIW - I can't get posts to XP general and Outlook Express to even
appear.
I have been unable to post a problem I'm having with jpg attachment to
OE
emails. Very frustrating. Don't know where to go else to go.
