    From Boris@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jul 4 20:15:13 2021
    Running Xnews 5.04.25

    Actually, running the 'test' version, which is just the executable. I originally installed the 5.04.25 full version for years, but had to
    reinstall, and choose the test version.

    But, now, only on some newsgroups, clicking on a post only gives the latest
    Re: post of the original post. I have to click Get Parent to expose all of
    the thread's posts, even though I have Storage:headers and articles
    enabled.

    Any ideas?

    Maybe your news service has renumbered their articles. Try doing a
    Catchup (F8) and if necessary, re-download the latest X number of
    headers (Ctrl+Enter). You might have to do this to every newsgroup, but
    try one small misbehaving one first.

    Thanks for the reply.

    I did try the above, but no luck. It doubled the articles and assigned
    each double the same number as the 'original'article. See here:
