From: Rob on 4 Jul 2008 23:13 So ...... You say you would search on certain lines in a header .... Are lines 4 to end unique to me and identify me in all my posts? I noticed something else this evening ................. I watched as Norton Antivirus scanned my HD tonight. VAV identified whay it called a "Tracking Cookie". Could this possibly be something this "character" is using to track my posts to newsgroups? Rob "N.

From: PA Bear [MS MVP] on 5 Jul 2008 02:14 If I search this newsgroup for messages FROM emasil(a)email.org, I get your 3 posts in as a result. No cookies are involved when accessing newsgroups via a newsreader (e.g., OE). -- ~PA Bear Rob wrote: > You say you would search on certain lines in a header .... > Are lines 4 to end unique to me and identify me in all my posts? > > I noticed something else this evening ................. > I watched as Norton Antivirus scanned my HD tonight.

From: Rob on 5 Jul 2008 12:28 Thank you for responding! Good information! Ok...., you can find messages in this newsgroup from me, can you automate responding to my messages with a standard response? You said: <<> No cookies are involved when accessing newsgroups via a newsreader >> Would you please explain that further. Could a Cookie on my computer detect each time I posted to a specified newsgroup? Thanks for all the information you can provide!!!
