Clue, please?? Right-click on the group in the group pane, or use the newsgroups menu, and select "More download options". Then either choose "Download All Headers" (which means overviews, not headers, but...), or choose "Download Recent Headers" and select the number of overviews/headers that you think might include the post, plus a safe margin. Note that this will bring back all sorts of stuff you may have already deleted, but will only bring back what's still on the server. Of course, on gmane, that's everything from as long as they've carried the group/list, so it could be several years worth. On a good commercial server, it'll be maybe six months worth for text groups. On a good ISP server, it'll be a month or two, most likely, for text groups. Single part binaries will be a few days (good ISP server) to a couple months (good comercial server), multipart binaries up to a couple weeks on a good commercial server, 2-3 days on a good ISP server, only hours on a not-so-good server. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
