Curious - I can see the posts in that thread. Not just the headers,
the content as well.
Now to your other hypothesis: I read/write these posts via Seamonkey
Mail/News on the server news.mozilla.org. My understanding is that
this is the "primary", other News providers such as groups.google.com
read and write to this server.
Yeap!! Same Same for me .... and then there is the (whatever) function
where you can receive all posts here in one great big daily e-mail!
YUCK!! (IMHO, of course!!)
In Walt S48's first post yesterday he gave me a link to Google groups
- it is in this mail, you did not snip it - and I confirmed to him -
also in this mail, unsnipped - that his link worked and that the
information I was looking for was there and had solved my problem.
In another of my posts in this thread I said that the mozilla.general
newsgroup on the same server does not seem to suffer from the
problem. There are actually more postings in Mozilla General than in
this group although I filter+delete on several criteria there so I
can't supply numbers. Both are over 110 000.
I (recently) had to make a new account for this news server, so I show
at 4,306 messages in moz.general verses 5,163 messages in moz.s.seamonkey
When you subscribe to a Newsgroup, the download is not initiated until
you actually "go there". If you then look at the "Server Settings for
this account" you will see an option "Ask me before downloading more
than 1500 messages". In my experiments here I have started routinely
disabling this option, even if you don't you can still say "I want them
all" (or words to that effect). It looks as though you have accepted
some limit.
Of course it helps when you have a seriously fast internet connection,
mine is something like 200Mb or 250Mb.
Yeah!! At the time, I had screwed up something with my old Moz.news
account and hoped to fix it ..... eventually. Haven't gotten around to
it yet!
Maybe, one day, I'll download all the missing threads!!
