Two things:

First, MS Outlook Express is not the same program as MS Outlook. MSOE groups
are under the "MSN and Internet" hierarchy, not the "Office and Desktop
Applications" hierarchy. On the web:

http://preview.tinyurl.com/d6s8sw

Or:

http://preview.tinyurl.com/cdd6ng

So I have cross posted into the proper group.

Second, without a full, verbose error message, there is no way to give any
explicit advice on how to handle your problem. So restate your problem,
including the error message; and not just the error code number, as some are
prone to do, but the full, verbose error message.

You shouldn't be crossposting messages for people; have them start a new
thread in another group.

Says the RFC on netiquette for newsgroups and common sense. When a post
just suddenly shows up in another group mid-thread, it's unknown to them
what/whether history, parallel threads, etc., may aleady exist for it.
If the current group is not the right one, then the OP should start anew
in the right one. If there might be another in addition to the current
one, then the OP should get the opportunity to initiate the crosspost
but from the aspect of a new post. For all you know, he may have
already posted there also, and you could end up getting him flamed for
multiposting when he did no such thing. Control of destinations should
remain with the original poster.

That's all I mean. f'ups to here.

HTH,

Twayne
