It appears that, yet again, there are problems because the microsoft
servers are not picking up posts made via external news servers.

That means that posts made directly to the microsoft server will be
seen, but posted elsewhere (such as in google groups or through your
isp's news server) will not be seen and, likely, not responded to util
the microsft administrators discover the problem and address it.

As an MS-MVP, this is somewhat embarrasing as, afaik, there is currently
no way for even mvp's to report such problems so they might be addressed
in a timely manner.

If you have made a post that has not received a response, keep the faith
as it is likely that it will show up when the problem is eventually
addressed...

....if not, please repost your questions.

Sincerely,
Beverly Howard [MS MVP-Mobile Devices]
