Subject: Missing USENET Message Bodies

I am wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem.  I ran 
it by my service provider's help desk, and all I got was a "Dunno.  Never 
heard of it.  Send in a bug report."

    I use Pine 3.91 under Unix.  The problem has occurred _only_ with 
incoming USENET newsgroup postings, never with email.  Sometimes, 
seemingly at random, the entire message body is missing -- only the 
header appears.  It can be a bit annoying, particularly when the subject 
line leads me to think that I would be especially interested in the 
message.  Has anyone else run into this?

There is such a message in this newsgroup right now, but the body *is* 
missing - I can't find it with TIN either!  Sometimes I have hit a wrong 
key and sent such a message myself.

    I'm sure it's not a matter of being fumble-fingered at the keyboard. 
Once I posted a short message to a newsgroup.  When I went to view my own
message later, the body way missing.  However, not long after that,
another person replied to my post, quoting the entire message body, so I
know that it got through over the net to at least someone.  I do not say
that the problem is necessarily in Pine.  I was just wondering whether any
other Pine users had experienced a similar problem in order to be able to
start tracking down the source of the problem.
