Please don't multi post. I have replied to your question in one of the
other news groups where you posted this, telling you where to look for
more details about the problem. It'll be up to you to figure out which
news group that is since I can't recall offhand.

If you send the same message to multiple news groups separately, it
forces everyone else to download and read your message multiple times in
each news group. To make matters worse, if someone replies to one of
your posts in one news group, the other news groups in which you posted
the message will not see that reply. This means you will have various
people responding in various news groups, which starts multiple
discussion threads that are disconnected from one another. This is known
as "multi-posting", and is generally regarded as inconsiderate and
inefficient.

In most cases, if you want to post the same message to multiple news
groups, you will want to include all of the news groups, separated by
commas, in the "Newsgroups" line of a single post, like so:

Newsgroups: comp.sys.mac.system,comp.sys.mac.apps

This way the message is simultaneously posted to all specified news
groups. More importantly, when someone replies to your message in one
group, that reply is automatically sent in all other news groups to
which you sent the post. This means all participants are able to see the
entire discussion thread, no matter which news group they are viewing at
the time. This is called "cross-posting" and is the proper way to do it.
