We seem to have a problem with readnews and the .newsrc file. Sometimes
when I startup readnews it will present to me an article I read 2 months ago.
I looked in my .newsrc file and find the following (only as an example):
net.news.b: 1-99,101-456
I definitely know that I have read ALL articles from 1-456. Any suggestions?
It could be tied in with a similar problem when you type 'N net.news.b' to
advance to another specified newsgroup. Readnews will often present to me
the lowest numbered article in the newsgroup.
I apologise if this is a bug that has previously been dicussed and solved.
If there are fixes for this already, please mail them. Thanks.

If things don't change they will probably remain the same.
