(Reading a response, here, by NFN Smith to Smiles prompts me to

About two years ago, I mistakenly, after doing some testing in
SeaMonkey which required me setting up additional profiles,
when I then deleted those test profiles, I also deleted my
entire SeaMonkey main Profile which contained all my e-mails
and news group posts dating back over twenty years.
At that time I was using Windows 7 (and still am), so I tried
to reclaim the profile from the Win7 Recycle Bin, .... but
without success.
I've not emptied the Recycle Bin, yet, so, if anyone wants to
divulge how they recovered from making a similar mistake, I'm
all ears!!
Well if you deleted the profile by selecting in Explorer the
directory in:
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Seamonkey\Profiles AND it hasn't been deleted
or over written, find the profile RANDOM.default in Recycle Bin
and restore it. Then edit the profiles.ini to include restored
profile's directory name. Start SeaMonkey with -profileManager
switch and select profile.
Thank you, Jonathan, I'll give it a go.
Should Jonathan's suggestion not be satisfactory, you may also try
unsubscribing from any news.mozilla.org newsgroups. Rename the
associated entries in your profile so they don't get reused, then
open a new newsgroup account instance and allow all the posts to the
groups that interest you since their creation to arrive. You can then
search the group posts you are interested in.
A reasonable suggestion, Sean, but I'm not looking to save entire news
group postings, just the copies of my posts to those news groups!
Well, once all the messages had downloaded, you'd just search for your
email address...
loks like you've resolved your issue though.
