Probably because you have your News account to only show "Unread"
messages. With the news group selected, check View->Threads and set it
to "Threads with Unread" or some such.


The OP could do both:
View | Messages | Unread
AND
View | Threads | Threads with Unread

To maximize message visibility, he'll have to choose
View | Messages | All
AND
View | Threads | All
Then no messages will be excluded.


Yeap, you're right, Paul. For my e-mail account, I do have the "All"'s
selected. and, for the news groups accounts, I like to see things
threaded, so have "Threads with Unread" selected. ;-)


For threading, you want
View | Sort by | Threaded

Like you, I have also chosen "Threads with Unread" because I don't want 
to clutter up my list with old threads and messages I've already seen. 
But that's a separate option from whether messages are threaded or not.

I guess you mean you went to File->Offline->Settings and, in the 
"Message Synchronizing" section, you clicked on "Select newsgroups for 
offline use", selected the Server and then those groups on that server 
which you wanted to download onto your Hard Drive.



Nothing seemed to happen.


Did you then click on File->Offline->Download/Sync Now??


I went to search in the Body of the messages of one of the checked
newsgroups and it said not found.

WHY ???


If you have not downloaded the news group posts onto your Hard Drive, as 
I remember, you can only search the Subject:'s



What else do I have to do ?


See above.


The posts bodies are visible on Seamonkey.  Is that not enough ?


No. See above!

I need to find something that was posted several weeks ago and is ONLY
found in the Body (not the subject).


Then you will have to download that news group onto your Hard Drive, as 
described above.

Right, I think Mozilla only caches the headers.
If you want to scan the body, you have to convince Mozilla
to download them.

Right click the NG. Properties. Synchronization tab.
Check Select this group for offline use
Click Download Now

That might do the trick.

Search Does NOT !

I checked the newsgroups I want to search for off-line searches.

Nothing seemed to happen.

I went to search in the Body of the messages of one of the checked 
newsgroups and it said not found.


WHY ???

What else do I have to do ?

The posts bodies are visible on Seamonkey.  Is that not enough ?
