The subject is not really good, but I dont really know of the internals of 
newsgroup checking.
When you open a newsserver twisty Mozilla seems to only sometimes check for new 
messsages in the subscribed newsgroup. This must be due to some kind of caching 
timer, because if you leave mozilla alone for a while and open close/open the 
twisty the newsgroups are checked.
But there is a small problems with this caching timer:
If you add a new newsgroup(s) and would like to get the newsgroups updated 
you'd expect that you just close/open the twisty. But this doesn't work if 
mozilla thinks that it should use the cache instead of actually checking.
So the solution is that when the user adds newsgroups this caching timer must 
be reset.

I hope you understand what I mean.....
