When I use PAR2 I regularly download and save partial messages to see if I already have enough blocks. However, when I have 'delete bodies on save' selected, newspro will delete the downloaded bodies.
This is somewhat annoying when it appears I do not have enough blocks and have to wait longer or use my pay server.
I will have to download the whole all parts again.

Would it be possible to ONLY delete bodies after a save of a complete messsage?

you can disable deleting headers/bodies on save (properties->general, saving attachments) or even better can make newspro to ask whether to delete per batch (anyway you save incompletes manually), it will still mark read anyway if you checked the corresponding check box there.

it is the setup i have here (deleting enabled but asks whether to delete and marks read).

i'll change the behaviour in the next version so it won't delete headers/bodies of incompletes, since the question arises only when saving manually it would be better to save the completes/incompletes mix without thinking, and then, if there is enough data to restore original files - to delete incompletes overly.
