How do we reclaim our messages after a rebuild?

[Blue Max]

Following a system rebuild, is there a way to relocate our discussion group
messages and replies, from within Outlook Express, and then reclaim them as
our messages? If so, we could presumably renew our use of the option VIEW/
CURRENT VIEW/ VIEW REPLIES TO MY MESSAGES, in order to track our own message
threads. How do we reclaim our message threads?

Hal, thank you for the referrals. Unfortunately, we failed to backup the OE
data before rebuilding the system. That's why we wondered if our messages
could be reclaimed from the MS Outlook Express discussion groups where they
still resided. It appears that most the articles you referred were for wiser
users looking for a way to backup data before the rebuild. Thanks again.

Ask in an Outlook Express newsgroup. This isn't one.
