I am submitting this as a user; can replies/fixes go to ..!decvax!hcr!rrg please. When reading an article I try not to clutter up the net by replying direcly to the author if I think it is worth while. However, this usually means reading to the end of the article and typing '-' to go back so that I can use "r". Still with me ? I presume there is someone out there in netland who does much the same. Now occasionally - NOT USUALLY AT GROUP BOUNDARIES - this mechanism doesn't work. The 'readnews -n all' will NOT back up to the previous article. If I try addressing the article by number (even from later on in the same group) I end up with the one after it. The only ways are to 'x' and go round again, or edit my '.newsrc'. I find this tiresome, and occasionaly end up posting replies to the wrong people (if you get one, send it back & I'll try to patch up the routing) which is not a good thing. Has anyone else experienced this ? Could it be a result of stuff in my .profile ? Has anyone any ideas ? /anton aylward ..decvax!hcr!anton
