Hmm, what I've always had in NS4, and TBird looks the same, is that
"get message" gets only the headers, clicking on a header gets the
body, so to get all the bodies for reading offline you have to do File
-> Offline -> Download/sync now. In theory you could have that
automatically for a particular newsgroup, but in NS4 it seemed never
to do it automatically. I wondered whether TBird has the same problem,
since the menus look similar (and I'm too lazy to try it for myself),
and I'm also wondering whether I'm in the same universe as everyone
else.
