Well I'm certainly no expert...but until the
experts chime in - I'll give it a whirl.
Sometimes posting messages to a forum or group is
like casting a lure in a pond, sometimes you hook up, sometimes you get nothing,
sometimes you pop the line and loose the lure and all.
Go to your "messages sent" area in your
computer....see if it did show as a sent message to this group - or to an
individual.
What date did you post?
Did it show as a message sent, or is it still in
your "outbox", clogged due to interupted service?
(usually they'll go out - once you are online
again and if your program checks for all outgoing mail).
Check your messages in your inbox...did you get any
failed delivery notices that match your missing message?
Also, you may need to check the addresses on
the outgoing email in the sent box...make sure you sent it to this group, esp if
you drafted the text in a Word document and cut and pasted it in the body of
your email.
If you meant to send it as an attached document,
that may be the source of the problem....I get emails with no attachments
everyday at work by people thinking they sent me a message but they never
attached one..
Finally, I don't know what size limits there are
here, but many user groups limit the size of an email esp. with pictures.
graphics and such.
