Yes, his settings were not correct. He had/has it set for 50 headers.
I am not sure he wants to change it either!

Don't use OE but saw something about this on another group. Problem
was reader was set to download 100 newest headers so he missed a lot
of posts. Don't know if that helps or not.

As an MVP, I know it is not the done thing to post test messages to
non-test groups. But please bear with me as I need to prove a point
to a guy I am trying to help. His ISP is insisting that he is not
seeing his posts (to this group and others) for a long time, because
he is using OE as a newsreader. I and another MVP cannot seem to get
through to him that OE is a newsreader only, and is not responsible
for the lateness of postings, his ISP and their servers are. I am
therefore posting from my ISP to prove this point. (Actually his ISP
carry no news servers of their own, but use Giganews.)
Some of you may care to clarify what news reader and/or ISP you use
just so that he knows it's not just me belabouring the point.
Thank you for your patience.
