I use OE 6 and see the same behaviour. The problem is how Gmane newsserver keeps expired messages. Your post has a tag: X-Gmane-Expiry: 2006-04-13 That means that the message body will be removed in 2 weeks. But message header is still on Gmane server. FYI I asked about the issue in gmane.discuss in the thread "X-No-Archive working again". You can find Lars's explanation there. -- Grzegorz Wiktorowski --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
