Hello, in general this happens if the message-id of a message in a newsgroup isn't unique. The message-id is part of the message header (try CTRL-U). As you can see, the message-id consists of a unique (hopefully) number followed by an "@" and (mostly) the domain part of the email address from which the message was posted. If there are more than one messages with the same message-id, the older one will expire - you are not able to read it anymore. Alex
