The message count indicated by Thunderbird for
gmane.comp.openoffice.questions is more than 65,000.
Most of the 'articles' are expired.
When I click on "Click here to remove all expired articles" at the
bottom of a message that has expired, Thunderbird thinks about for a
couple of seconds, but nothing actually happens, i.e. the message count
remains the same.
This isn't really a big problem, but it is nevertheless somewhat
inconvenient, because my Thunderbird index file
(gmane.comp.openoffice.questions.msf) has grown to more than 20 MB,
which makes this group relatively slow to load/display.
A Mozilla Champion has confirmed that this appear to be a particular
issue with the OOo newsgroups (or possibly the gmane server), although
the outcome of the discussion was not conclusive when I brought the
issue up a while ago at mozilla.support.thunderbird
Any comments/suggestions?
