Couldn't you just either flag or watch the threads in your newsreader you
are replying to? Or simply do a search for your name in your newsreader? The
latter should be similar to a "My Threads" view. Unless everyone is using
your name in the newsgroups.

As Yves has already explained, you can search for messages in your newsreader,
or you can flag them. You can also sort messages alphabetically to locate your
messages visually.

It's more problematic that a forum message may appear in the newsreader with no
context what-so-ever, if you haven't downloaded the entire thread and the poster
has neglected to quote the relevant parts of the message being replied to.

But that only shows MY posts, not the thread they are posted IN....the
function "Show replies to my posts" in WLM shows the THREAD as well as just
my posts....

Well, you can search for a thread in several steps. For example, once you have
found a post, you can use the subject to locate the other posts in the same
thread. Or you can "flag" or "watch" threads where you are posting messages, so
that you can find them later.

But there is no such thing as a perfect method, of course. :-) Personally I use
both the web forum and Outlook Express, even though I prefer the latter.

Still receiving in WLM!

Have given up on the Answers forum, my machine won't let me synchronize the
groups on WLM - even with the bridge. Doesn't seem to like the "120" rather
than "119". I get a message to say my AV/Firewall is preventing this but I
have wlmail.exe allowed as it tells me I should.
