accidental multiple posts any ideas

Hey everyone,
Over the last week, maybe two, there have been a spate of accidental multiple posts from people where they have said that their email client threw an error saying that it didn't go through. I've been checking the message source of some of these messages over the 12 newsgroups, and can't really find any correlation.
Some appear to be sent from Exchange Servers, some from Windows Server 2003/Windows XP x64, and some from Windows Mail in Vista - is it a specific Vista problem that people keep getting, or is it a newsgroup thing?
Just wanted to check - as this *could* be a Vista Beta 2 issue perhaps... :o)

I've had it happen to me a few times, using OE and XP Pro (still waitin for the Beta 2 general release!!) Message says could not send and stays in the outbox but it has sent and posted, then when the outbox sends again its posted again.

Zack,
I received the same error when I was using Microsoft Mail in 5308 but the post still went on the newsgroup. I am sure that it is most likely fixed in the newest Vista builds, but have not had a chance to get my hands on it.

OK - thanks for letting me know. I'll forward this onto the Newsgroup Admins and the Vista team - it could be a bug in the Windows Mail software, as well as congestion in the newsgroups :o)

Zack, there have been a lot of multiple posts from people using the web interface too, especially over in the xp groups. They were getting errors trying to post.

I believe there is an error when you check "Notify me of replies" on the web interface. It has not notified me of anything, but still posts the message. An, of course, I believe it says it takes 5 minutes for the post to get through... In that time one could get concerned and post again. Just some thoughts. -- Robert Firth

This may also be part of the answer, only those people that have multiple duplicate posts can tell us if they got impatient for their post to appear and reposted without the error message that some were getting, the web interface is very slow and also the page must be refreshed manually to view your post when it eventually is on the newsgroup, patience is a virtue, every thing comes to he who waits, even old age.
On another matter, is anyone getting a MS pop-up survey?
I posted this in IE thread, but no one over there knows if its a bug or a true survey?
"Subject: ms newsgroup survey won't display. Posted: 3 june 2006
Recieved a pop-up about ms newsgroups survey.
http://web.survey-poll.com/bin/survey.asp
I can't view the survey, what do I have to allow to get the survey to display?
popup? hostsFile? ??"
I am still getting the pop-up invitation, but survey form is not opening?

ok to answer that question it just happen to me and i ended up posting twice because it gave an error message that my post was not recieved.

The pop-up survey when you go to microsoft.com? Yeah, I got that. It is boring and asks most of the same questions they do to get Office 2007, and some about improving the website. --- Robert Firth
