Sure, that will save the displayed message, but he was looking for ideas on
saving the whole newsgroup.

I found this in the Outlook Express help file:


"Reading newsgroup messages offline

Offline news reading enables you to read newsgroup messages without being
connected to the Internet, which saves connection costs. To do this you must
subscribe to the newsgroup whose messages you want to read offline, mark it
to specify whether you want to see headers or whole messages, and then
transfer the messages to your computer (synchronize). Once this is done, you
can log off from the Internet and then read the messages at your leisure.

You can choose to read message headers only, which tell you the subject,
author, and size of the message. Or you can select complete messages,
including attached files. Synchronizing to read only the message headers in
a newsgroup is much faster than synchronizing to read the messages, and it
can still give you an idea of the current discussions. While you are
offline, you can mark the headers that look interesting and then download
only those messages when you reconnect."


Saves the newsgroup and connection costs. I expect other newsreaders can do
the same thing.
