At least at our installation, if a user's .newsrc file
specifies that he/she has read even ONE article in a given
newsgroup, then the next time vnews is invoked, that
newsgroup is SKIPPED, instead of going to the first
unread article in said newsgroup. This can be overcome
by specifying "vnews -n net.xxx" on the command line,
EXCEPT if the is a sub-specialty in the given newsgroup.
For example, if I have read one article in net.news, then
when I next call vnews, it will skip to the next newsgroup
to which I subscribe. If I specify "vnews -n net.news"
it will automatically give me net.news.adm, even if I do
not subscribe to it.
Does this happen anywhere else?? Does anyone have a fix
for this bug??

We are experiencing similarly strange behavior in our vnews (2.10.2).
Any solutions will be greatly appreciated.
