I've just started using newsgroups. I could really use a tutorial. Does
one exist? I'd like to get the most out of the help they offer.

OE6 seems to indicate in the Folder pane (by means of a value in
parentheses) that the newsgroup contains several thousand messages.
However, in the preview pane I only see a few hundred items (are these
what are referred to as headers?). Why don't I see the several thousand?
I don't know if the messages displayed are downloaded or not (and what
does it mean if they are?)

I haven't been able to find Help to explain what to expect if I click
"Headers" on the toolbar.

Is it possible (is it even practical or recommended) to display
information about all messages in the preview pane? Or is the best use of
a newsgroup to use "Find" and enter a search argument?
Thanks, Charlie
