News servers only keep posts for a period of time. Each server is different.
MSNews keeps them for 90 days. Some servers keep them longer, some only for
a few days.

If you want to keep posts indefinitely, copy them to an OE local folder.

Also, make sure that in View | Current View, you have Show All Messages and
Group messages By Conversation checked and nothing else.

I'm using OE6 as my newsgroup reader. I keep losing my already-downloaded
headings from newsgroups. Very frustrating. I want to keep them.

Under Options, Maintenance, I have every box UNCHECKED, and all my
subscribed newsgroups are set to Don't Synchronize. What am I doing wrong?
How can I keep OE from periodically deleting my downloaded headers?

Thanks!
