Sorry Group!

[Scott M.]

Sorry about the future-post group. I've noticed a large increase in the
number of general Windows questions hitting this NG lateley and thought I'd
try a test to see if anyone actually reads it.

I've never future-posted before and won't again, but thought it might be
worth a shot to see if it helps at all. Those of you who know me, know I
follow NG netiquitte.

Again, sorry for the inconvenience.

Scott,

It makes no sense. It is are the MSDN web pages who lead, in my idea for
more then a year now, Microsoft customers to wrong places.

I think Scott's approach has some merrit to it.

Surely the web users will also see his post first and perhaps even read it

I agree with your intent, and saw that it was future posted last night. It
seems to have been corrected to an old date by forces outside us mortals
though, and today shows a post date of 3 August. Bummer!

I understand that Cor. I wanted to test the theory that someone who was
directed here by Microsoft might actually see my post and read it. It was
just a thought.

Scott,

Not 60% of my messages arives in newsgroups at the moment, do you have the
same?

This is a message I have sent yesterday. But I don't see it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is Outlook behaviour, I don't know of the result will be the same in the
WebBrowser interface from MSDN.

You do it by date your system in future and send the message, this is named
newsgroup (not mail) Top Posting, that is why Schott who knows the NG
netiquette made his excuse in advance.

You can simple correct it by sending a new message with a "new" message (no
reply) with exactly the same subject text. It takes then over the top
message.

Often I do that, but this time not.

:-)

You're right though.

[=?Utf-8?B?RmFtaWx5IFRyZWUgTWlrZQ==?=]

I think Cor is right, in that at home I use windows mail, and at work I use
IE 7 through the microsoft site. IE 7 and Microsoft shows it as 8/3 for your
original post. Windows mail shows it as you said.
