You can't see it immediately after you wrote the message, or EVER?
If the former, it's because the headers have to be refreshed for you to
see it.

Jim
You may have set your newsreader to show only the "Unread" messages.
You likely did see your original msg once......... but at that point it
became "read".........
hope this helps

Jim,
Are you using Outlook Express? If so, go to your inbox, click the space
between the icons and then customize. Add the button that is called
"Headers" and click that whenever you enter a newasgroup. sometimes the
news servers will send only a majority of the new posts... Never could
figure out why this happens. But clicking this button forces the otehrs to
download.
It may also help if you exit the newsgroup by visiting your inbox and then
re-enter the newsgroup a few seconds later. That sometimes pulls in a new
post that simply refreshing the group will not.
Strange results, I know, but this is how I deal with the problem.

I have the same problem with Outlook not showing all messages. Just recently
started using
http://www.1001newsgroups.com/lmess.php?name=rec.woodworking
if I think I am missing posts.
Don't know if it is 100% reliable.
