Why do I keep getting "Bad article Number"

[Kundan Kumar]

I am using Entourage as my primary news reader. First time I click on a
message to read, an error comes up saying "Bad article number", "Error 132".
I click back again on the message and it gets downloaded fine.

What could be causing this. Although not a big pain, but its a little
annoying.

Network Glitches - I get it from time to time, but nothing serious.

What type of glitch. I have a pretty good broadband connection to internet.
And it happens everywhere, whether I am on my corporate network or home
broadband.

Since it only happens to me with MS news server groups, I suspect it is
related to traffic on the MS servers.

I am not using Microsoft News Server, its our corporate news server. So I
will rule it out as a MS News Server specific problem.

FWIW, ever since I created this news rule to pre-fetch the whole message, I
never run into this error anymore:
<screenshot of the Rule to retrieve all messages from news server>

But that will unnecessary fill up my HD space...
Its a workaround ... We should have a fix.

So will viewing the message. This just gets the message before I click on
it, which makes reading faster for me. If you don't want it to download all
messages like I have, then change the criteria to only download the messages
you do want to read.

I have the exact same rule, but still meet the error occasionally.
