  • [GRAVITY 2.9] Re-retrieving headers after doing a catchup

    From Stan Brown@the_stan_brown@fastmail.fm to alt.usenet.offline-reader,news.software.readers on Sat Oct 9 18:25:42 2010
    From Newsgroup: alt.usenet.offline-reader

    Google Groups doesn't archive alt.windows7.general, but my Usenet
    provider has fairly long retention (I think). I want to find an
    article I posted about a month ago.

    Can I tell Gravity somehow to re-download all headers for this group
    from the server? Or do I just have to unsubscribe, change the number
    of headers to download, and re-subscribe?

    Select the group - Right Click - Properties

    Move the slider left to set the new low water mark. If there are a
    lot of articles you might want to do it in stages or fetch a
    limited number of headers until you find it.

    If you have rules like Watch Thread that might fetch bodies - you
    might want to disable those until you are done.
