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??
Daniel
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??
Daniel
as I said, its because the messages are stored "on the server".
You're viewing them "on the server." Email/News do not have a cache.
If you want them to be on your computer, then you must download them
first. Look under Offline & Disk Space under the account settings.
Its at the very, very top of that window is what you want.
You're joking!! I would have thought they *MUST* be cached somewhere!!
Daniel
well, if you think its cached somewhere, then you go
look for it, and let us all know when you find it. :-)

*IMPORTANT*: Sorry folks, but I cannot provide email
help!!!! Emails to me may become public
