I've just thought of something. The other day, in an attempt to remove very
annoying ng spam which of course isn't picked up by my spam trap because
that applies to my mailbox, I set a rule to remove messages which contained
more than 50 lines.


That'll do it.

I didn't realise you used Outlook express. As you have discovered, while
it's easy to use, it's also to do thing with it that you don't want to
do. Outlook uses the same rules for NGs as for mail. A NG is just a
public mailbox that anyone can access by "subscribing" to it. Anyhow,
many people get a newsreader-only program in order to prevent the e-mail
and new-reader rules from interfering with each other.

I see that Good Poster suggested another cause for your problems. So,
for curiosity's sake, which was it? the 50 line limit, or the blocked
images?

Purple heather and golden daffs - good colour combo!
