 The pov server has all of the messages ever posted minus those that were
cancelled by the user. I cannot say for sure about your other questions
but there is a possibility that the cache can cause you problems and have
experienced this myself in the past. Most of the stuff in the cache is
simpy gifs and html tags from sites you have recently visited but who
knows what all else may get stuck in there. If you expire all messages
you can always elect to download the headers again so that you can access
all of the previous messages on the server.

Methinks the problem's to do with 'Scape's general comprehension of HTTP
1.1. Haven't heard of a 1.0 site giving these problems (except with IE, but
that doesn't really count now, does it?). povray.org runs 1.1, nicht vahr?

I've been having a similar problem in Outlook Express.  It turns out that
the cause was clicking on the header of the message more than once.

Thankyou Ken for answering on my behalf (even if it wasn't to do so).
Yes, it should just be like when you change newsreaders.  Just have to
start fresh and mark everything read back beyond a certain date after
starting up again.

Not likely.  This is NNTP, not HTTP.

I just tried being careful about clicking and still the same results.
So I decided to turn off 'view inline' and that seems to have fixed it.
But then netscape totally crashed! Aargh!

I've noticed that the GIF doesn't play after downloading. You can make it play
by right-clicking on it and selecting "play" (at least in the browser).

It didn't work, Bob. Now I have to download everything again, and
binaries.animations attachments still crash my Netscape. Something about
SHLW*.DLL that causes it to crash. Maybe I can copy-paste the exact
problem in here so that Ron can translate the assembly into plain english.

BTW, I was using version 4.60 and am now downloading 4.61 to see if it
helps. Wish me luck.

I had trouble with that particular dynamic link library too.  Caused
me to uninstall Netscape and IE both and reinstall.  Before I did that
particular one and then a series of others began to fail, so be
careful.  Get out your backup software and save stuff now before you
end up needing a reformat in the end.
I think it may be a conflicting problem with the operating system and
the browsers (mainly the IE 5 perhaps).  Anyway I see you have Win 98
so that may be it.  Having Win 95 here might be considerably
different, I don't know, but after a messed up IE 5 install everything
went berserk from that point on. Just so you have fair warning.
