The same thing happened after our last sporge attack and it took days to
straighten out.

So, if it was something worthwhile, sorry.

Learn to like/use an archiving reader like Agent. I keep my
own archive of messages for 13 days and then they will auto
purge. If I mark them as Keep they will be around till I
unmark them. I've replied to kept messages that I have on my
computer a long time after my provider has dumped them.

There are several good archiving readers around. Once you
get used to using one you will wonder how you ever got along
without.


Ok, but how will that help recover messages that never make it past your
news server? That appears to be what happened, although I have no idea how
it works.

The headers were there but the message bodies were not. My news reader never
got a chance to download them at all.

My news server will probably repost them all in a couple days. :-/

They are really screwed up, and I get a lot of ghosts of day and multi
day old messages, showing up as new.
