(MailNews Core :: Networking: NNTP, defect)

If you synchronise a newsgroup with pictures, it will download the pictures but
WON'T keep them in the database. They will be downloaded again when you click
the post. Bodies are correctly downloaded though.
If not using synchronise, it happens often that you can't save the picture (it's
displayed). It retries to connect to the news server, and waits..... Have to
close mozilla completly and open it again to download the post again and save.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. synchronise a newgroup which contains post with pictures (attachements?)
2. Wait it's finished
3. Look a random post, it will download the picture again.
The save problem (without synchronise) is probably linked to this bug.

Actual Results:  
Synchronise is supposed to make me gain time (I'm on 56k) downloading all the
pictures. But I have to do it manually and wait everytime instead.
It worked in Netscape 4.8, not in Mozilla (same in 1.0)

Expected Results:  
Download and KEEP the picture in the posts.
