'Sent'?

Returning from brief holiday, I find some curious date patterns appearing
under 'sent' (reading in Outlook Express).

In this particular news group there appears to have been no traffic between
3/11 and 9/11?

Am I to conclude that the 'sent' column actually refers to the date I
accessed the forum rather than the date the message was actually submitted?

Trying to catch up,

Nope, sent is when it was sent. (Unless there's something broken...) Hit
customize up near the top, add the headers button, and click that and you'll
download the next chunk of headers. Mine's set to 1000 and I think that's as
high as you can go.

Sent items in OE for the newsreader, the date refers to the date/time in
Windows you actually pressed the "Send" button. The date/time is also
reflected by the news server when viewing the post here. That's why some
posts may appear far in the future, their onboard PC time/date is
inaccurate. Even if accurate, time zone differences are also reflected due
to the same reason.


"Catch up" will not affect what's in the "Sent" folder.
