Missing Headers

I went to view the headers I just downloaded and there is nothing there, I clicked OLD still nothing, I did a Reset Headers, then Get New Headers, it shows it's downloading the headers, but when it's finished, still nothing, I checked the View Filter, it's at None. Just started today, so I checked with my other Newsreader, and it's working OK with the same groups. Here is a snap shot, the groups show empty. Anyone have any help on this, it was running great yesterday.

I finally got it working, deleted the Groups, then added them again, now the Headers are showing. Strange though.

Most likely you defined kill filters in edit menu->properties->kill filters for those newsgroups and in the same time the kill filter action is "discard completely".

When you deleted and readded newsgroups - the kill filters were gone, so you now see the headers.

When it downloads headers it matches them to the kill filters, if the action would be "delete headers" or in any other scenario I can think of the newsgroups were not [empty], but the numbers were be growing even as headers are not shown until you check "del".
