I would like readnews to display all of the messages in each specified group in my .newsrc file before going on to the next group. Currently, if a message is posted to more than one group and the other group is in my .newsrc, the message is sometimes skipped (probably depends on the order of the posted newsgroups vs my .newsrc) and not displayed until I get to the other group which contains the message. I find this to be frustrating when I have a large number of groups in .newsrc and don't have time to get to all of them. My .newsrc is arranged so that the groups are in order of importance. Does vnews or rn do this? If I notice a message has been skipped by readnews and read it manually by specifing the number, readnews seems to get confused and screws up my .newsrc so that when I subsequently run readnews, I get previously read (but not saved) messages displayed!! Has anyone else seen this problem? Has it been fixed in 2.10.3? What is the current status of 2.10.3? Thanks.
