Hello:
I am a new subscriber to this newsgroup. I have been able to download
historical posts from this group going back only to 10-31-03 . Is there any
way that I can access older posts to search? Is this a news server issue or
is there a setting buried in Outlook Express (my news reader) that I am
missing?
Thank You,
Larry
 
Keep doing a Tools | Get Next XXX Headers. Outlook Express only downloads
300 at a time and it will do it the first time you go to a newsgroup, and
after that it will only download new headers unless you tell it to download
more using the Get Next XXX Headers. You can change the number of headers it
downloads in the Options.

Hope this helps,

Also make sure you are logged directly
into the msnews.microsoft.com server with
your news reader.
Most ISP provided news servers only archive posts
for a certain number of days.
 
But currently only 30 days of posts are being kept on the MS newsserver

IMHO use Google to go back further
