I've been using newsgroups for a few months now though Windows Mail on
Vista, but it only keeps a limited number of messages, I think it is deleting
old ones. Has anyone else run across this problem before and know how to
fix it?
Since obviously I don't have all the posts to the newsgroup what is the best
way to search the newsgroup messages for a specific thing such as
'FloatingDockSiteClass', is there some way you can do it online at
newsgroups.borland.com? I always want to search first rather than posting a
new thread but I don't know how to search the archives.

period. In this group (non-tech) there is only, at most, about a month. The
technical groups vary but are generally somewhat longer.
These groups are captured by google though, so you can search back several
years from this page:

I use a old version Forte Free agent and have archives that
go back 8 years before I get tried and just delete them.

simplest seems to be to use google groups when I want to do a search.
Oh, one more thing, I can not remember when replying to messages are we
supposed to post above or below the replied message?

You might like have a look at the web interface at delphi.newswhat.com
(what i use to read and post messages/threads) or dev.newswhat.com(beta
but pherhaps better). There is an archive search box but last time I
looked it didn't work properly (the returned links pointed to missing
pages if i remember correctly).
