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. :-)
May be, the message is cached in memory ... and not as a file on disk.
