: Your posting may not be totally lost. I saw tonight that a posting I tried to
: make on Dec 19 finally showed up. I thought it was "terminally"
: lost. Guess it was just delayed by the Xmas mail.

I think it is unlikely that your message was not actually posted until days after you sent it. They should appear immediately, however they may not appear in your index until you refresh the index frame. The framing makes it so there is less load on the server by not updating every time you post a message, but this may mean that you will not see your message right away.

With regards to the Internal Error: I just archive over 5000 messages so the script does not have to work as hard. Hopefully this will increase response time and reduce the number of errors. Of course now the Archive is a mess, but that will have to wait to be fixed.
