We are running rn patchlevel 48 with C news patchdate 7-Sep-1990. If I let my news reading in a particular group slide for a while and accumulate lots of unread messages... ******** 1280 unread articles in comp.sys.mac.misc--read now? [ynq] and I say 'y', it often comes back with Skipping unavailable article... Which I can handle - I take it to mean that some articles have been expired before I read them. Unfortunately, rn then invariably marks all remaining articles as read! Which means that I have to manually mark the last 100 or so articles as unread to read them. Is this a bug or feature of rn? -- Phil Trubey SHL Systemhouse Inc. (Internet: phil@shl.com UUCP: ...!uunet!shl!phil)
