In fact it would but it wasn't complete,
so you probably didn't use the dialog
correctly when you were prompted.

FYI in order to use a Synchronize command you have
to set a Synchronize option too. If you had already
downloaded some message headers the one you
would have to use would be All Messages.

The suggestion you were given would have worked
for any synchronization setting (even Don't Synchronize)
if you had done a Reset newsgroup first. Again, though
for that exception case you would have to have used
the prompt correctly to get anything downloaded.
E.g. AFAIK if Don't Synchronize is set as the newsgroup's
synchronization option the Synchronize Newsgroup dialog
would come up with none of its boxes checked. ; }


Hmm... well, apparently there is yet another WLMail
quirk you need to be aware of too...
Synchronize Newsgroup was greyed out until I
turned my full folder pane back on! Who knew? ; \
