Oppie had this to say:

My reply is at the bottom of your sent message:

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

I'll start with I have no idea...

Does the message size correct itself after you've downloaded the message? In
other words - if it looked like it was 1kb and it turned out to be 52kb then
after you have highlighted the message and it has downloaded does it then
appear to be a full 52kb in the size field? I figure that might help someone
else debug it because I don't recall actually seeing that before?
