In OE you can right-click on the group, choose "Local file tab" and click
"Reset" button. All messages are removed and next time you open the group,
only limited number (default is 300) of headers is downloaded. As far as I
remember there is no GUI to do the same in Thunderbird. You have to
unsubcribe / resubscribe. Why it downloads all header, I don't know. I'm not
an expert in Thunderbird. Once I tried Thunderbird but I can't accept how it
handles expired messages so I removed Thunderbird from my disk. Thunderbird
as *a newsreader is* useless for me.
Apart from the minor issue we have discussed here (which would appear
not to be Thunderbird's fault), Thunderbird works very well for me as a
newsreader, and I find it far from useless - on the contrary!
