the offline use of mozilla news seems to be brokens since the 20040521 or
20040524  build.
basically here is how my configuration looks:
1. all groups are set to be downloaded for offline use.
2. all news-servers are set to Keep: All messages + Only message bodies less
then 90 days.

after dowloading a group for offline use i closed mozilla (no crash).
then when starting up again, there are no messages at all in the group. index is
to be downloaded, offline cache has to be downloaded again.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. see above.

if this was around 5/24, I bet this is another duplicate of a regression I caused.

see bug #244217

can you try a 5/25 build or later?

if so, please mark it a dup.

recent ones?)  thank you!
