I have a problem with my newsgroups.

Using OE as my newsgroup reader, I get a message at the bottom:

e.g. 250 downloaded 250 unread 35 not downloaded. I cannot download the 'not downloaded' messages even if I go to tools > next 500 headers.

When I leave the group, and return I get the message 0 downloaded 0 unread 35 not downloaded, and on the folder list the newsgroup is in bold and has the number 35 in brackets. Only by doing a 'catch up' can I remove this.

This happens with most of my subscribed news groups.

Using Thunderbird, this doesn't happen, and all messages are downloaded.

Using Win98SE and OE 6.

Hope someone can help.


It happens occasionally with Thunderbird, too. Unsubscribing and resubscriping fixes it for me with both news readers.
