In C news, if an article is dropped because it does not have a newsgroup that is in the sys file's subscription list for ME, is the message-id of that article stored in the history file? I know that articles that are accepted but filed in junk are entered in the history file but what about unsubscribed newsgroups and those with an "x" in the active file? -- David Robinson david@elroy.jpl.nasa.gov {decwrl,usc,ames}!elroy!david Disclaimer: No one listens to me anyway!

In `NNTP mode' (-n), which most of our shell scripts invoke relaynews in, relaynews will create history file entries for articles rejected to due an active file x flag or a subscription list mismatch. There have been requests to broaden the class of failures that produce history file entries, but I don't have the details in front of me right now. -- Geoff Collyer utzoo!geoff, zoo.toronto.edu!geoff
