Kevin's post wrapped at 72 characters max per line for proper formatting
in newsgroup posts.

I used to use Eternal-September (even back when it was called
Motzarella). There was a time when he had hard disk problems too often
and then later some other problems so I left and went to Albasani.

Sorry. The mime setting was set to "Quote printable" or something like
that. I'm not sure what that happened. Everything else was as you
suggested.

It seems like the replication from E-S to microsoft is incomplete....
VanguardLH replied to this thread with two posts, but only one made it
to the Microsoft server. The missing one contained critical comments
on the way Microsoft manages its newsservers.
Is this a sign of censorship on Microsoft's side?

It also seems to be a rather long delay between posting on E-S and the
actual apperanance on the microsoft server of the message.

Interestingly my own reply to VanguardLH, which had quoted his text,
is also not forwarded (or accepted) to the Microsoft newsserver...

OK, so, I've been using Giganews for years for everything except the
Microsoft groups. I just went over there and typed in
"microsoft.public.virtualpc" and there it is. With 54890 messages.
