Posted in reply to Charlie | Sometimes it happens if the options are set such that old old messeges are not downloaded .. hence if a new reply is made to an old thread, you won't see the thread, only the reply.

But many clients clean up messages that are so and so old, or can hold a maximum number of messages.

Actually my client (KNode)has the ability to clear old messages, but keep

True. But that wouldn't follow from an option such that old posts aren't downloaded. Stewart. -- My e-mail is valid but not my primary mailbox.
