Any updates to DOS in past few years ?

I think I found my problem with the 'missing' posts:

OE6 defaults to downloading 300 headers at a time. Since this is a
heavily used newsgroup, more than 300 questions & responses may have been
posted between the time I posted my response and when I checked back with
the newsgroup. The extras could not be seen by OE6 until I did something
specific to read older headers, namely, repeatedly clicking the 'get next
xxxx headers' item under the tools menu until the unseen stuff showed up.

I've actually seen this behaviour out of OE even when there were only a few
messages involved. It seems to just get mis-synchronized at times. As you
say, repeatedly clicking on "Get Next xxx Headers" (where xxx depends on
your Options settings) seems to fix the problem. Just be aware that it may
crop up yet again at a later date.

Yeah, I'm here (though not for much longer in this group...I don't usually
hang around here). What's up? And "name that cannot be spoken"...what?
