* There are threads on the Giganews server from 2003, and I have some
archived on one of my computers back to 1999, or earlier. *If I replied
to any of them, they would appear as new threads, except on Google
Groups, or a similar archive.


* That old thread you replied to doesn't pull the other headers back
into Netscape, just the header to your new message.


Of course not. Now unsubscribe from rec.crafts.metalworking, purge
newsgroups on your reader and then resubscribe and download the
headers.

I recently set up a new computer at home, and using Agent, didnt think
about it and downloaded All Headers

It appears that Earthlink archives back to about 2002....

I went outside, got sidetracked doing something for 4 hours..and it
was still downloading headers (dialup)

Your reader may have a data bit set to ignore message prior to a
certain date..but if you flush the que....and drop that data bit...

And yes..they would appear as new threads as yet unread
