There is also a continuing problem with these Microsoft discussion
groups or with WLM itself. I will post a reply and the post I have replied
to will show that I have replied. Under Storage folders, Sent items it will
show my reply and the fact it has been sent. Nothing remains in the outbox
so I know it was sent. However, my reply never shows up. Day after day after
day goes by and nothing happens.
I assume it will be corrected sometime in the future. In the meantime I
don't worry about it.
