Thank you to everyone who has responded.

Just in the last couple of days a large number of posts have started 
appearing that I cannot view in Pan. I've never seen anything like this 
before, and now it is affecting a significant minority of posts: in 
Pan's header pane, they appear with Number of Lines as either 0 or a 
large number (thousands). Clicking on them, they don't download, and the 
body pane remains blank.

In Knode, I see the same thing in the header (0 lines or thousands), but 
when I click on them the body downloads and the number of lines adjusts 
to the correct figure (typically less than a hundred).

Could this be corruption at my ISP's news server? That would explain why 
it doesn't affect other people?

I must admit, I don't understand why you think this is surprising.
