Headers per server (range) all others" question

[willko]

Hi all,

re: "Headers per server (range) / All others"

What exactly does the "retain/delete all others" setting do?

I have header retrieval set to All ATM & retain all others as default for all groups - if this was delete what would that effect?

many thanks

The option is applied mostly for retention, since article numbers are not held for all newsgroups storage types but one - the article numbers type.

If you choose "retain" - since older headers won't be deleted then - they will be accumulated until you delete them manually.
