Rick,

Your computer calendar is set to December 2008 and therefore all of your posts show up out of sequence on my newsreader.

Smarty

Weirdly, Rick's pot is seemingly in the right place in my newsreader, with the displayed date 7/21/2008, time 00:00.

His headers show Fri, 19 Dec 2008 15:36:28 -0500.

I suspect that my NR, on seeing a future date, sorts it at midnight of the date received (or something).

It makes up for the occasional split thread - where later posts are displayed as a second (or third, ...) thread starting with "Re: whatever".

I use MesNews.

My newsreader, "Windows Mail", the Vista replacement for Outlook Express, apparently uses the header date and time, and thus puts Rick's message at the very top of my date sorted list. Stupidly, it overlooks the fact that the actual, current date (which it could get from the Internet, or use directly from my local clock/calendar, says it is months before the header date. Your MesNews reader makes a more intelligent choice.

Oh there I go again......accusing Microsoft of doing something stupid in Vista...........!

Smarty

Clearly you are making a mistake with such an accusation :-)

I have a Windows Pocket PC, and I upgraded the ActiveSync software. Spent an afternoon getting my partnership and data back onto the PDA...

Just for updating the synching software :-(

I spent countless hours with Compaq iPaqs, Dell Axims, and a couple 'Smartphones" also PocketPC-based. Altogether impressive stuff but just loaded with many little problems. I still loved these little PDAs.

I used to call it "ActiveStink" rather than 'ActiveSynch'. You obviously understand what I mean.......

Smarty

Thanks - I'll use that word in the future :-)

Maybe I'll tell my friend in the next county over. He often uses their paratransit service for handicapped people; it's officially called "Outreach", but he calls it "Outrage" - he'll appreciate your renaming techniques :-)

I seldom coin new words, but Microsoft provokes a strange and unusually strong urge for me to get snarly and sarcastic. They just do so many things poorly.....virtually all of the apps in Vista which had been reasonably stable and debugged have been replaced with new and often outrageously poor replacements, including the new replacement newsreader, Windows Mail, which I cited earlier in this thread. How they can take good working apps like Outlook Express and turn them into such mangled and buggy products defies imagination... Outlook is also just full of problems and the new Office suite is a huge step backwards, not so much in terms of bugs as the replacement 'ribbon' interface. Enuff ranting.....sorry Gino!
