SYMPTOMS
When you are downloading the messages in a newsgroup while displaying the
message headers, if you try to open a message in the list, the message may
not open and you may receive the following message:
Retrieving message ... 0%
CAUSE
This behavior can occur for either of the following reasons:
- You are downloading a large number of messages from a newsgroup you
have not viewed recently.
- You are downloading a large number of messages from a newsgroup over a
slow connection to the news server.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, do not try to open a newsgroup message appearing in
the header list until the header download is finished.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
