I started a thread in late February with the subject line "Match fields in
Address block". The last contribution was by Peter Jamieson on 2/25/04 and
I cannot find any of the thread at all. Peter gave me some very good help
in his last two posts (one on 2/24 and the other on 2/25). Unfortunately, I
was out of the country traveling for 3 weeks and could not act upon the
suggestions. If I access my Outlook Newsreader on my laptop offline, I can
see the thread, but cannot view any of the messsages offline. If I access
it on my desktop online, I do not see the thread at all. It appears to have
been dumped. Is there any way to retrieve it from the cyber trashcan?

It has probably expired from the server but it is still archived at

Thank you much, Graham. I thought there was probably a place they were
archived. At least I surely hoped there was. Thanks for pointing me to it
so well.

If you can remember the title or exact phrases or contributors to a thread
or a combination then it is simple to find archived stuff with Google
groups.

Thanks Graham. You just taught me how to fish for archived threads.
