I have a weird problem with the files in my Thunderbird newsgroup 
folder. Since I subscribed to the new Mozilla groups within alt.* (the 
first ones from alt.* which I subscribed to) their dat-files get 
duplicated over and over as follows:

alt.comp.software.firefox.dat
alt.comp.software.firefox-1.dat
alt.comp.software.firefox-2.dat

This is not specific to these groups; the same happens also with other 
groups from alt.*, which I just tested for confirmation.

The folder is included in Dropbox, and I understand, that this could 
have some side-effects, when Dropbox replicates while (in this case) 
Thunderbird is active.

However, this folder has been in Dropbox for many years, and I never 
have had such a problem with any of my other groups from de.*

If is matters, I am subscribed to new.individual.de.

Although I post this here, I have no idea whether the problem is caused 
by Thunderbird.
