Ghosts?

Anybody else seeing ~23 ghost messages when access this NG via OE?

It jumps up and down, but I see it with WinMail in 7. xp.basics is even

worse.

Yes. 25 at the moment, with hacked WM in Win 7. WMUTIL "Rebuild Database"

usually

cleans them up for me.

"Ghost messages" are a result of OE not being coded to the proper

Usenet standards. Other newsreaders do not have this problem.

Microsoft is the KEEPER and DEFINER of the standard.

No ghosts - just old farts!



It is a good thing PA Bear plonked me a long time ago so he will not

see my messages.

Never saw anything even remotely similar, whatever "ghost" messages means.

XP Pro SP3 OE6 IE8 now; used to be IE6/OE6. Sounds like some sort of

corruption or malware.
