0.13.2 is a bit old, now, for a fresh install, but .3 had a couple issues, 
so.. .4 is soon to appear, I believe, but the .3.93 beta seems pretty stable 
here, and includes some pretty decent new features, namely more efficient 
multi-connections for downloading, if you use that feature.

The headers (or more precisely overviews) for all subscribed groups thing is 
still available, but you are right, there's no direct overviews and bodies 
menu option for all groups, now.  However, it can be done by creating a rule 
to do it when you d/l overviews for all groups.  Create a filter matching 
everything, then create a rule using that filter, set it to the groups you 
want it to d/l automatically, and set the action to retrieve body.  Now, when 
you d/l "headers" (actually overviews, but...) it will trigger the rule and 
get the bodies as well.  This way, you can set the d/l bodies option by 
newsgroup, which is handy if you subscribe to both binary groups you may not 
want to d/l EVERYTHING from, and text groups you do.

That should do it!
