SM 1.1.12 on MandrivaLinux 2007.0 on Dial-up
Yesterday, I was checking out one of my UseNet server groups,
decided I needed to make a 'phone call, so hung up my Internet
connection.
Moments later, I decided that I needed to reply to the message
that I was reading (forgetting that I was off-line) so clicked
"Reply".
The screen opened with the header info (group name and thread
name) and even showed whom I was replying to, but did not quote
any of the thread to which I was responding.
Why?? I'm guessing that this means that SM was supposed to go to
the world, re-download the message and re-format if for my reply,
but WHY??
I've already downloaded the message, so why cannot SM just go to
the Cache to get the info, why does it have to re-download the
message??
Do other News readers also show this behavior??

you're not viewing the message on your computer. You've viewing it
on the server. Therefore, when you go offline, the message isn't
there on your computer, because you haven't downloaded anything.
Is it the same for thunderbird?
SeaMonkey is about the same as a Firefox and Thunderbird combo.
Peter, when I look at a web-site, I'm not really looking at the
web-site, the various bits and pieces are downloaded, from a
web-server somewhere, onto my computer (cache) and then it is
displayed for me.
I would have thought that the messages in a newsgroup were downloaded
from the server, via cache, for me to view it in the first instant.
When I'm viewing a message, I don't have a permanent connection to the
message as it is stored on the server, the info comes from the server,
into my computer RAM, cache, etc., so why should I have to re-connect
to the server and re-download the message, when it's still in my
computer, somewhere??
Before you can read newsgroup messages while off line, you must first
select them for downloading. Have you done that?
No, I'm not wanting to read them off-line (which I have done before).
I'm on-line when I read the message, so there is a copy of it in my
computer somewhere. I then went off-line, with the message still
displayed, so still in my computer. Then I wanted to reply to the
message which is still displayed.
