I have done so without any problem, allthough I think it more proper to do a global search for messages with bodies and then delete bodies for all of those. I ususally just sort my data directory by date, and delete .npr files that are earlier than anything I am currently downloading. The .npr files...

My Xpat's work perfectly and take minutes.. not hours. Outlook Express does not have this function so that is comparing apples to oranges. You need to put in here.. what you are doing. 1. What is in the wildmats field.. (copy and paste it in the forum). 2. What is in the newsgroups field (copy and p...

Most of us don't have any problems with the XPAT so we are having a hard time understanding you at times. When you issue an xpat command to a newsserver, the search is done ON the newsserver and no data is being tranmitted until it finishes the search. This is why the bandwidth often dips to 0. To f...

I am not sure I completely understand the problem you are having now. First off, you don't have to delete an XPAT to start a new one. You can create as many as you feel like each beginning with a #. To find posts from RedCouch you would use the From field.

I use the XPAT functionality quite a bit, but not sure if I can effectively explain it to you. To initiate the search I 1. create a new group beginning with a #, to indicate that it is a search, such as #zeppelin. 2. upon trying to get new headers for the #zeppelin group, the search criteria dialog ...

I am not sure that we know enough about the problem you are having. Have you looked here http://www.netwu.com/newspro/posting.htm? Are you posting 1 binary file or multiple binary files?

It just deletes it within Newspro. I have used that section to change parameters and set up a repost. You can/should practice posting in alt.binaries.test.
