Question:
Does any other umrat out there use netscape to read umra, and if so how do you download the messages as well as the headers?

File -> Offline -> Synchronize [1] Select the ngs you want to download and tick the boxes as appropriate. Remember to work OFFLINE while you are reading the posts and also remember to either synchronize [1] again or switch back to work online so that your unsent posts are sent. [1] These are not typos, it's the way NS spells it. I write synchronise.

If you use Options\Synchronize, that should do it. The first time you do this, you will have to then press "Select Items" to choose which newsgroups you want to synchronize.

There is a bug ^w quirk in Netscape though which means that occasionally it will only let you have the headers, and will deny all knowledge of any bodies to go with them. This is why I am now moving to Agent.
