Missing Newsgroup Posts

Hi. Since I installed WLMail as my newsreader, I miss, maybe 5 or 10
percent, of newsgroup posts (in this newsgroup). They just don't show up,
ever. I don't recall that behavior when OE was my newsreader, I believe it
just started when I switched to WLMail. Has anyone else noticed this
behavior? I have XP sp2, WLMail 12.0.1606. Thanks.
Larry

Re: Missing Newsgroup Posts

It may help to change a default setting: Tools, Options, Read,
uncheck "Get 300 headers at a time".

Re: Missing Newsgroup Posts

Do you have Tools, Options, Read, Get XXX headers at a time checked? If
so, uncheck that.

You must be psychic. You probably know I have already unchecked it. Thanks.

Re: Missing Newsgroup Posts

Somehow my WM reverted back to that default setting a few weeks ago.
But I knew what to check when I discovered some posts were missing.
