Hi Alex,

In description of 3.71 I read: " More capabilities for handling incomplete partial messages: In the More submenu of the newsgroup view context menu 'Find parts and save attachments' has been added: for views with partial auto support enabled (partial menu->enable autosupport... checked) it works like 'save attachments'. "

Question 1:
The problem is I cannot find 'find parts and save attachments', can you tell me in another way where to find it? More specific: I don't understand "the More submenu of the newsgroup view context menu".

Question 2: should I at the "partial" menu, not select "delete such bodies automatically from time to time"?

in views with partial autosupport disabled (partial menu->enable autosupport...) you can download single parts with the first part missing and optionally the rest (instead of using view with incompletes shown). then you can save everything (the 'Find parts and save attachments' option is in the 'More' submenu of the context menu - the menu which appears when you press the right mouse button in the newsgroup view) to maximize the data volume for par2 recovery. the option at least gives the full control in this sense.

unless you restart the program automatic deleting of incomplete partials with missing parts won't be invoked, so if you do everything within one session you can keep the option enabled (which is default) otherwise you can invoke it manually from time to time (when automatic it happens about once in 10 days).

Hi alex,

thank you for your reaction.

Now I can find it. This option can be very useful in situations where a lot of incompletes come in.
