I hope this is the right forum to post questions about the Answer NNTP Bridge. If not, please redirect me.Arguably, the questions have more to do with OE. But I thought that other NB users might have encountered the same issues.I am using OE6 (6.00.2900.5512.xpsp.080413-2105) on XP SP3. 1. The recommended NB usage is to download bodies along with headers at the same time. I do not see that option in OE6. Bodies seem to be downloaded only when I open an interesting message.Am I overlooking something? Or is this simply not an OE6 feature?Note: I have "dont synchronize" set. I wonder if the headers+bodies usage is referring to the "all messages" or "new messages" synchronize feature. 2. When I open an interesting message, it appears in a Unicode (UTF-8) window, not HTML, even though I have the following configuration:Read: uncheck "Read all messages in plain text"Send: News Sending Format: HTML HTLM Settings / Encode: Quoted PrintableAm I overlooking something? Or is this simply not an OE6 feature?Note: I did notice an improvement in format after I unchecked "Read all message in plain text". Quoted text that appears in a gray box in the GUI is now indented in the OE6 window. But it does not appear in a gray box in OE6.

For 1, look under the Settings tab of the Bridge. You will probably find that "Prefetch message bodies when headers are fetched." is check by default. If you need to change it, you must do so before signing in to the bridge.-- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of myservices on a paid consulting basis.

PS: I do have prefetching selected, by default as you say.Thanks. I'll mark this "as answer" if/when my second question is answered.
