Go to View | Columns and choose Lines. That is a better estimate of size
than the Size field.

I am having a problem getting the message size to display properly when
connecting to certain usenet servers. The operation is acceptable in all
other aspects.

news:news.cadsoft.de (free access) group 'eagle.suggest.eng' (for example)
is reading initially with message size of zero until the message is
opened. Then the size updates to a correct number.

news:news.teranews.com (needs name and password) group
'alt.binaries.schematics.electronic' (for example) seems to read message
size only as the main article, not including the size of any attachments
(reads 1K even for a message with a 50K attachment).

news:news.microsoft.com group
'microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlook express' does read
message size properly.

XP Pro SP2.



Is there anything I can do locally to resolve this issue? Tech service at
Teranews claims that they are able to correctly read the message size.

Thank You,
Oppie
