I saw this discussion on the Netscape 7 newsgroup and I have experienced the same bug since Mozilla 0.9.8 (and maybe even before that; haven't used older versions). While in a newsgroup, pressing Get Msgs will download any new threads. And if there are new threads, those will have the + expand sign next to the message, even though no reply has been posted yet. Pressing the + will make it a - (e.g. the thread is now expanded, but there are no messages to expand). My question is, what's the bug number for this? I'm sure a bug has been filed a long time ago. / David
