No, I use Giganews too, and see the full messages. The problem would
appear to be at your end.

No, but you do seem to be the only one using Ameol.

Maybe true (I can think of one other possible user here) but I'm
looking at the raw messages which shouldn't be affected by the
newsreader. Anyway, why are Robin's the only Usenet posts in several
groups giving me this problem? That's the mystery.


Here's the full details of the post you first complained about:

trip in 1970.

I did occasionally use Essex Road Station in those days. I didn't pay
attention to esoteric details such as lights dimming but I do remember
vividly that the entire line seemed dingy and run down and that all the
stations had poor lighting. The line was definitely the poor relation of
the London Underground family.

Thanks. I did in fact see that text in Jim's response to it.

Eric kindly sent me one message as he received it via Giganews. The weird
bit is that the path details are identical for him and me so it's definitely
a problem at my ISP. I'm waiting for a response from them now.

I thought it was the headers you were interested in?
