Try the "save as" function, checking the "save text" option.  If THAT
doesn't work, and you REALLY want to read the article, search the cache
for files containing the subject line and other info (author, date) you
can get from the overview pane.  I've resorted to that a couple times,
altho if your cache measures in gigs (I was the one that submitted the
suggestion that got the max cache size increased from a gig to 20 gig, tho
I set mine to about four, and have it on an 8-gig dedicated partition),
just LOADING it (as when PAN starts up) takes awhile, never-mind grepping
file content! Still, it can be done, and I've done it.
