Ok, I know now what's happening:
On 5/8/2005 Diana posted another message with subject Test.
When the messages are grouped by conversation, Outlook Express arranges the
new Test message of Diana's in the same conversation as the old Test message
of Diana's.
So when I go to the 5/8/2005 to the old Test thread, I can see Diana's new
Test message as one of the replies and then Al's reply is arrange down there
too.
Diana, is your newsgroup reader doing the same thing?
It's a feature not a bug, I am sure. And shame on you for reusing the same
subject for a non-related message. In the future just make sure never to use
the same subject again when posting to rgo, no matter how long it has been,
and Microsoft may treat your message the way you would expect. :-)

Diana,
This is really weird: I cannot see your message in Outlook Express when I
have the View Current View set to Group by Conversation. However, when I
uncheck the Group by conversation and have it list all messages in reverse
chronological order, the message is there. I can also do a Find "Bell
South"
(even when the messages are grouped by thread) and it finds your message,
but I can't tell where it finds it when it's not listed. So it seems to be
there, just not always displayed???
Weird!

Okay, folks. Different ISP this time, different computer, and different
server. Still can't see that bloody message. But of course, if Bell's
server
deleted it, then it would be gone everywhere. Still. Why just that one?
