There is a high-traffic group with 60 days expire I read daily, and fetching the headers takes time, even though the server is on the local network.

Way ahead of you. Communicator/4.0 does cache header information on the local disk. We only XOVER new stuff when you open the group. In the 2.x/3.x newsreader, there was no local header cache, so Show All Messages had to go XOVER every article in the group. This is not the case in 4.0. -- Phil. ------- End of forwarded message -------
