I didn't answer this because it didn't show :-)

Neither did I see your other three posts starting at ~1:30PM Eastern US time Yesterday,
~6PM, and at ~11AM Today.
 
You're not downloading enough headers. As David has mentioned, your posts
did show. This is a large group with some 500-600 posts daily, so you have
to check your options (under tools) to make sure you are downloading them
all.

There are 2 boxes in the options. One has "get ___ headers at a time". I
have nothing checked there. The other box "Mark all messages as read when
exiting newsgroups" is also not checked.

Should I indicate a number of headers to download? If so, how many?

The way you synchronise ( download messages ) needs to suit you.
However, when you set up a new newsgroup check the box in Tools,
Options, Read, Get xxx headers at a time (you can change the default to
any number between 50 and 999). Set the synchronisation to New not All.
Then select Tools, Get next xxx headers, after downloading has completed
select Tools, Mark for Offline and then select Synchronise, Newsgroup
and only those Marked. Remove the check mark in Tools, Options, Read,
Get xxx headers at a time. For all future downloads use Synchronise,
preferably Synchronise All. Using the procedure described for a large
newsgroup avoids downloading thousands of messages you may never read.

Another option if you read Online is to make your Synchronisation option
Headers only. You then select and download bodies for only those
messages you intend to read. Yet another alternative if you read
Offline, is to use Headers only and then to Mark selected Headers whilst
Offline and then Synchronise for marked messages reading the selected
messages later Offline.

No it wasn't received.
 
Dear No stop

Neither were the chips at the local McDonalds a week or so back. A massive
fire at Hemel Hempstead ( UK ) disrupted distribution!

Take some time to reflect.

Given that others did receive Helen's messages I guess you need to call in
the McDonalds Certified Food Specialist to check your newsreader settings!
