I am really getting frustrated. Live Mail reports: there are 9057 messages
not downloaded for a particular newgroup. I selected ALL MESSAGES for
synchronization and it limits it to 300. So, I find the setup page and
someone decided that nobody needs access to more than 1,000 - unless there is
something I am misunderstanding because I change this:

Tools>Options>Read>Get '1,000' headers at a time

That seems to be a hard-coded limit for retreiving old messages. Why? Who
decided that? Am I wrong? I NEED all 9057, not 1,000!!

Why do I need them all?

I am a support user of the newsgroup and support other users - they often
refer to or need access to the "old" messages. A newsreader that is uncapable
of retreiving all messages is simply worthless to me for obvious reasons, the
messages not downloaded are completely inaccessible.

I am hoping that my frustration is unwarranted and that there is some setup
option - somewhere that will allow me to download - All - the actual messages
and not have some arbitrary limit hard-coded into the product restrict me.

Please... PLEASE... tell me there is away to get Live Mail to download all
messages for a newsgroup????

TIA
