FWIW, using OE's newsgroup reader, though,
I'm still getting messages through gmane with no problem. I've got it
set up to access the news.gmane.org server
directly.

Subject: [Dataperf] Posting's reply address
Hi Everyone,
I have an email addressing and
header problem with emails and newsgroups reader from the DP group.
Since the 20th
February 2012 if I click reply in Outlook 2003 to a posting email,
instead of the reply addressing (‘To:’ field) being the ‘DataPerfect
Users Discussion Group’, the “To:” address is the actual address of the
original sender. I can of course override this and replace it with the ‘[email protected]’ address, but it is
annoying, since clicking reply works for all messages up until this
date but if I click a later dated one it exhibits the problem. But for
the first couple of messages I replied to since this date I did not
even check the dates so they presumably went directly to the poster, I
only noticed the problem when they were not appearing in my DP email
folder.
I have looked at the headers of
emails since that date and they are very different in composition than
the ones before.
Once upon a time I used to be
smart enough to read the header of an email and be able to say with
someone certainty what it all means, but there are so many header
fields and custom header in mail messages these days that I have given
up. Suffice it to say that the old emails had Header Sections of about
50 lines long, and the problematic ones are more than 110 lines long.
Its not only the originating email program that writes into the Header
Section of an email; processes along its pathway can add their bit too
(even your own antivirus and spam filters can mess round with it), so
the problem might be somewhere between the DP Mailing list server and
my email client.
I also have Outlook Express on
my computer which I occasionally use for DP User Discussions Group
postings using its News Reader client, as they seem to arrive in the
news reader far faster than in my email client, so before replying to a
posting I often check if someone else has already done so. Curiously
since the 20th December 2012, no more messages have come
from the gmane.comp.db.dataperfect.general newsgroups, which could I
guess be a problem with my ISPs filtering of newsgroups or something.
I think our federal government has told ISP that they are responsible
for filtering out any banned material, and since Microsoft always seems
to hold much sway with governments and they seem to be wanting to put
an end to this obscene MS-DOS related material, they may have
instructed the Australian Government to ban us. J
Has anyone else experienced a
similar problem with their email and news reader clients recently?
Bye
Brian
