From: Peter James on
I normally use MacSoup to read news, but I am having to use Hogwasher,
which I don't like very much.
When I open MacSoup and connect to the News Server MacSoup apparently
scans down the list of newsgroups within the MacSoup settings box and
then closes down without apparently downloading any news. The news
group reader page is set to "Unread" "Bodies and headers" and "Group
threads" and they show no unread messages.
I've checked the MacSoup preferences and they all seem very normal.
It's not a problem with the news server as Hogwasher will down load any
news happily.

I'm attempting to post this with Hogwasher just to prove to myself that
the news reader is connecting to the server OK.

Using a iMac G5 Power PC and MacSoup v2.8.

Your newsserver may have reset its numbering. Add the groups to your
list a second time and see what shows up.
