I get that all the time. Sometimes it means the message is old on the server. Each server gets to decide how long a message will be available. Mine keeps them about a week or a bit more. If there is a line through the subject header thats what has happened. Google archives will still have it but my server doesnt. Sometimes tho it just means I walked away from the computer long enough that the connection between my system and the newsgroup server was disconnected. Clicking on the message again will fix that.

I agree with Diana. Most of the time for me it is because I walked away too long, I have found if I click on the one above or below the one I want, they come up quickly then that seems to activate everything and I can read each and every one of them. Marilyn
