Maybe default settings expired them > or deleting & recreating .newsrc erased record of them? I believe they are tracked in newsrc, so that could have something to do with it, yes. Combined with expiry, especially on low-activity groups where the last messages may indeed be beyond the expiry. But that "unless searched" suggests to me pan still has them, just unshown (unless you actually did the download N or N-days headers thing to bring them back), which further suggests that /some/ setting you have is hiding them... Here, I'd probably backup my $PAN_HOME and then experiment with quit-pan/ delete-some-files/restart-pan, restoring from backup as necessary, until I figured out what file and what within that file triggered the behavior. But that's because I don't like mysteries even if fixed, because until I've traced such a behavior down it can still come back to bite me again, and because I tend to be just stubborn and patient enough to do that sort of experiment, as a result! -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
