You should be able to search in Outlook Express, but in any case it's pretty
much beyond my ability to control. Once you have the posts on your NNTP client,
it's up to the client to search the posts. I'm pretty sure Outlook Express
can do it though, but if you can't, don't be afraid to switch to web mode
to search. The web search works on my server.

As for your actual question, this diagram may help. It's the 4 card version,
but hopefully you can see the pettern and revert back to three cards...

Actually, one last thought.

One possible reason you wouldn't be able to search posts, is if they were
not on your machine. Do you have the full post history on your machine? The
post history now goes back almost three years on the server. If you haven't
downloaded them all you can't search them. If it's a relatively new install
with default settings it wont have all the posts yet.

There is an option somwehere in OE that allows you to adjust the maximum
number of posts it will download in any one hit. You can set it also to download
just headers, or full posts. It's worth, as a minimum, grabbing all the headers
so you can search them. You'd do this by setting the maximum number of posts
as high as possible (1000 or 999 I think) and then downloading the posts
in groups of that size until you have them all. It will take a lot of attempts
however to get all three years worth.

Alternatively simply set the downloaded posts to maximum, and then over a
period of a month or so your machine will slowly grab the full history. This
may be the ideal method as it's relatively easy for you to do, and has the
same result in the end.

Cheers,
Kim.
