Nothing in my news reader, they're all still there.

All those who believe in psychokinesis raise my hand.

I'm using Windows Live Mail with the news reader and all of the messages
prior to 12/31/09 dissappeared.
I use Thunderbird on my Mac. I'll take a look on that.

Thanks,
~alan

Yup! Thunderbird shows all of them.

How long does your Isp's news server retain posts

I can see posts from 11/04/09 until now in WLM, but my ISP (Charter)
sometimes drops this NG completely and I have to reload the listing.
Aioe.org only seems to retain a few days' worth, so maybe they did some
year's end house cleaning :-)

Hi, Alan.

Check with your own ISP or news server as to their retention policies.

Then check your settings in Windows Live Mail. There are at least a couple
of places that can affect retention on your own computer. These settings
haven't changed much since Outlook Express.

In Tools | Options | Read, there is the "Get ___ headers..." setting, which
can - in an active newsgroup - keep us from getting messages in the first
place, but that's probably not your current problem.

In Tools | Options | Advanced | Maintenance, there is a box to "Purge
newsgroup messages in the background". Under this are a couple of
subheadings: "Delete read message bodies in newsgroups" and "Delete news
messages ___ days after being downloaded". The default number of days is 5,
I believe, but we can enter just about any number we want - or UNcheck the
box and have WLM keep the message forever - or until we delete them in some
other way (intentionally or not). The "Clean Up Now..." button on that page
will let you delete even more, in specific newsgroups or globally.

My WLM shows 3032 messages in this NG, dated back to 10/17/09, when "Gadfly"
started the first thread, "Any Body Else?" and I posted the first response.
My ISP uses SuperNews - I THINK; might be GigaNews; I'm not sure how to
tell.

It doesn't matter to me, I use an off-line news reader. The OP is using
WLM, presumably not an off-line news reader.

Go into view. Do you have it set to 'hide read messages'?

You are using aioe, according to your headers. My experience is that
they retain only about 10 days' worth of this NG.

I haven't looked at other newsgroups on aioe.
