1. You don't do something to see if there new messages. Mozilla should indicate that there are new messages on its own. Are you seeing this, JTK? 2. Currently, you *have* to do something to download the message headers. But this is applicable only if you're in the same newsgroup folder. If you click to navigate to a different newsgroup, it will download on its own. Not downloading mails automatically may be a bug but I feel that there might be some explanation for this behaviour. So before I file a bug, does anyone know why newsgroup postings don't get downloaded automatically if you have set the option to check for new messages? Why do I have to press Ctrl-T to get the headers (if I am already in the same newsgroup)? Pratik.
