All these "re"s

[Broadback]

I am getting sick and tired of them. It is a recent phenomenon why have they started appearing lately and in such numbers?

Replies to older posts deleted by your client/new server or posters deleted by your kill file?

[Graham.]

If you mean what I think you mean it just means your newsreader has missed the OP of threads.

FWIW I don't see any particular problem and I'm also using E-S, but I did see some talk in the E-S support groups of a recent issue.

Perhaps my old Forte Agent is better at reassembling the threads than your TB, but that's just a guess.

Graham. brought next idea :

The E-S port 80 server was off most of yesterday, so nothing in, nothing out. It was back on this morning.

[Brian Gaff]

Do you mean in the body of the message or in the sub line? How both are handled depends on the news reader and how its configured. Brian

It's not just E-S, as I've been experiencing old posts suddenly appearing on Albasani as well as E-S. I thought it might be Google Groups playing around again, but I don't think so. It has appeared on Thunderbird and XPN news clients, so it is not the client.

Using 40tude: this morning there were far more than usual posts in all groups, most of them being from 26-27-28/5/18. I'm on E S btw. All back to usual state, now.

Because the news clients people use are doing that now.

Possibly it is caused by crossposting: Someone over in alt.loonybin adds uk.d-i-y to the groups line of their eternal prose, and it pops up here with a "Re: " on it, as the first post.

This would be usually invisible because most readers thread the replies, and the original posting doesn't have a "Re: "
