Trying to access the same posting, the top-level one for this thread.
It is from 10 April 2020, 23:32 (my timezone, your mileage may vary).
This attempt is from another profile on another machine, one where I
have previously replied to this very post myself.
Any help?
<https://groups.google.com/g/mozilla.support.seamonkey/c/irD_2_--VPo>
I had to get to messages 391-420 from the main archive to find it.
Thank you, that is exactly what I was looking for.
Is this some deficiency with Seamonkey's handling of large Newsgroups
or has someone started deleting old messages? I don't remember this
happening back when I was using 2.49.4.
Answering my own question, I don't have this problem with
mozilla.general of any of the lower-traffic newsgroups I'm using on this
server. It looks to me as though mozilla.support.seamonkey has lost
most of its history.
Don, if I set my SM 2.49.1 to View -> Threads -> All, I can see that, at
17:14 (my time) 06/08/19, you replied in a thread in this newsgroup
titled "Seamonkey mail ebay". Can you not see this??
I'm guessing there is only so much storage allocated to each newsgroup
and once that space is full the messages are over-written.
Hmm! Perhaps if we snipped better, the older threads would last longer!! ;-P
And then, just as I was snipping my post, I see a reference to
groups.google.com, maybe their storage is lessor than what mozilla
allocate!!
