This just came out as I was replying to
my message using Outlook Express:

""jbperez808"" <jbperez808@...> wrote
in message news:aso0ev+3uba@......
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Hmmm... could this be a clue as to the problem?

Any tips on how people can ensure that people
with my problem can ensure that their messages
show up news.atkin.com even when they use their
newsreaders? It is a hassle having to use
yahoogroups to post messages.

I find it puzzling that a message posted
directly to news.atkin.com would make it to
yahoogroups but not news.atkin.com itself
while vice versa works fine.
