The problem with Thunderbird is that is seriously re-downloads the whole 
message when replying rather than using the local cached copy. It does the 
same for IMAP email servers (a known bug), but it does seem like the bug has 
not yet been reported for (NNTP) newsgroup servers yet. So you might want to 
do that...

As for the web view, it definitely does not have that problem. I just tried 
replying to a p.b.i message and it worked like it should.
