I spent 15 minutes looking for a way to download all the message bodies.

Quite long for a GeekBoy.


I cannot see anyway to do it except by high lighting the messages I
want the bodies for. Seems to be quite cumbesome to do that.

Maybe I should look into another reader.

Don't give up so soon.

If you really want *all* message bodies, you can highlight all messages
with Ctrl-A, as in most Windows applications.

If you always want all bodies in a group, you can select that as a group
option (for all groups or for individual groups).

If you just want to read messages, the bodies will be downloaded one by
one as you go through them.

Someone else helped out. It is easier than control-A
It seems I have to download all bodies if I want to be able to get the
correct headers in the body to block that idiot flooding the group I post
to.

Thanks for the response.
