------- Additional Comments From m.d.nagy@worldnet.att.net 2004-02-07 13:59 ------- For the latest test I subscribed to six groups, with header counts ranging from under 100 to a few thousand. A fairly reproducible way of getting the anomalous files to appear has been as follows:
(1) Configure "Group/Default Properties/What to Purge" so that all messages of all kinds are purged every time.
(2) Select the six subscribed groups or so and run "Online/Get All Headers in Selected Groups".
(3) After all of the headers have been retrieved, run "Group/Purge Newsgroups/Subscribed Groups". That usually causes the anomalous files to appear, and any subsequent message list update usually results in the "File already exists" error.
