2.1.2.4 Downloading Headers.

Getting the Headers after initial configuration is quite easy.  Simply double click on the newsgroup name and the following prompt will appear.  Then just click the "Get All Message Headers" button.  The program will then connect your news server and begin transferring the messages.  The status will be noted in the lower left hand corner of the Agent interface.

To get new headers anytime after the initial batch, choose the "Get New Headers in Subscribed Groups" option in the "Online" pull down menu. By default, Agent will not get new headers each time your open the program like other newsreaders.

Once you load new headers, by default, Agent will mark all existing messages as read.  To change these settings, highlight the group, right click, select "Properties".  This will spawn the "Properties" window.  Choose the "Mark Read" tab.  Then check the "Override default settings" checkbox.  Then click the "Do not mark any existing messages read" radio button.
