How to ask a newsgroup question:

===
| The problem with news groups and subscribing to new news groups
| is that OE only downloads the most recent 300 message headers.
|
| When you search a newsgroup, OE only searches those messages that have
been downloaded to
| your machine,
| it does not search the server.
|
| To download "older" postings you have to click the "get next headers" icon
on the toolbar
| and it will download the "next oldest" 300 messages.
|
| Since this news group server routinely maintains 40 to 50 thousand
messages it's almost
| impossible to download and search them all.
|
| However, you can search this same newsgroup on Google and it goes back
several years.
|
| I just received a reply / question to a posting I had made at
annoyances.org in
| November of 2001.
