Not downloading newsgroup messages in WLM

[sheana]

Hi,

I set up my newsgroup reader in WLM with the email address
sheana@microsoft.com. One of the moderators pointed out that if a real
"Sheana" worked at Microsft, she might get replies to my questions and not be
happy about it. So I changed to sheana@nospam.invalid. I subscribed and
posted to internetexplorer.general, but the question is not downloading into
WLM. In fact, no more news messages have downloaded since I first opened it
up about 2 hours ago. Is there a way to reset and re-download the messages in
WLM like you could in OE? Or am I dealing with a problem due to the email
address I'm using. P.S. I found the posting on the web interface. Thanks in
advance.

Your post and a reply showed up here in WLM.
Have you set the Synchronisation setting on the newsgroup?
(Right-click the newsgroup and select Synchronisation settings) then click
Sync on the toolbar...

And this has what to do with Internet Explorer?

I don't see wrong with your munged address. Tools | Options | Read.
Uncheck: Get XX Headers at a time. Then, right click on the newsgroup in
the folder tree | Properties | Local File | Reset.
