Make sure that Get xxxx headers at a time is set to a high enough number or
unselected completely.
OE | Tools | Options | Read tab | Under News
If it is unselected, all headers are downloaded.
[[Messages in newsgroups disappear
First check the obvious. Click View | Current View and be sure it is set to
"Show All Messages". Also verify that "Show replies to my messages" is not
checked or you will see only replies to your messages.
Check also under Tools | Options | Maintenance to see if OE is configured to
"delete news messages after xx days". That feature only works if "compact
messages in the background" is enabled (as it is by default). That feature
however is not without problems, and so I do not recommend using it.
By far the most usual cause of newsgroup messages disappearing is that OE
automatically removes any message in your local store that has been removed
from the news server. Many news servers delete messages after only 2 or 3
days, although some, like the MSnews server, keep messages for up to 90
days. There is no way to change this behavior, but there is a workaround. To
save news messages past their expiration just copy them to a mail folder.
Once in the mail folder, you can still read them in thead-view by clicking
View | Current View | Group messages by conversation. This setting is
independent of the same setting in newsgroups, so you can have thread-view
in mail but not in news, in news but not in mail, or both.]]
