Description

[Tikras Vardas]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

When news server timeouts trying to recieve a single message body, the message becomes empty. Message list shows it as recieved and read but Message window shows only title and no content (even headers). Message source window also shows no content. There is no way to retry to recieve the message body. The only way to read it is to unsubscibe and resubscribe to message list and then try to view it again.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get new news message list from a news server (I use news.omnitel.net) for s
2. Select any new message in message list to view it 
3. Program tries to download message body and fails when news server timeouts

Actual Results:  
The message is then marked as not new and read. Message window, messge source windows shows empty contents

Expected Results:  
The message is still shown as new. When trying to view it again, program tries to recieve its body from a news server again. 
"Refresh" button or menu option would be welcome.
