Greetings,

Probably an old one, but when using OE as a newsreader, next to the
groupname is a number in parentheses, showing un-downloaded messages. I
have synchronised an arbitrary group and read all the messages available,
but there are still (e.g.) 5 left undownloaded - no matter how I try I
cannot get at these last five.

Can anyone please enlighten me?

Kind regards,

zar
