when you are reading posts, look at the bottom of the screen and see if the
package icon is set to store the headers and/or the bodies... there's another
setting elsewhere that will remove them when the server removes them... by
default, nothing is saved... i always have to find this and adjust it, too...
it really sucks when one is pulling several hundred areas... this is one reason
why i prefer to read using BBS tech... the onus is on the BBS and if i want to
keep the messages, then i can download them using an offline format ;)
