I see news 2.10 has fixed one problem associated with articles posted to multiple newsgroups but not the other one. You can now go back to such articles without resorting to editing your .newsrc file. (Thank god.) However if you read the article in one newsgroup, exit readnews and, in a later invocation of readnews, see the second group the article was posted to, you will see the article again. Does anyone have a fix? Mark

I at least have an algorithm for this, although I haven't gotten around to implementing it. Rather than keeping a list of aritcles which have been seen, find the first newsgroup that the user sub- scribes to in the list of newsgroups that the article was posted to. If that group is not the current group, don't show the article. In order to handle the "junk" and "control" newsgroups, the article should be shown if the article wasn't posted to the current newsgroup at all. Also, the article should always be shown if abs (the "ask absolutely" flag) is set. Kenneth Almquist
