I've noticed an irritating bug in rn. If mail arrives while I'm reading news, it prompts with (Mail), which is fine. So I move to another window and read the mail, save or delete as appropriate, run mail again to confirm that there is no more mail, and move back to the rn window. The problem is that, for the next several prompts (I haven't counted, it's more than 2 or 3 and doesn't seem to be related to switching newsgroups, running external programs, etc.) rn continues to say (Mail) even though there isn't any! I could exit from rn and restart it, but then it would start over at the beginning of the list of newsgroups. Does anyone know a way to fix this? The rn version line is @(#)$Header: rn.c,v 4.3.1.4 85/09/10 11:05:13 lwall Exp $ -- I have been informed that the "From" address in the header does not work. This does: ... tektronix!sequent!ccssrv!perry

The easiest way to force rn to clear its "(Mail)" indicator is to issue a dummy shell command, like "!:" or "!exit". -- "My God, Thiokol, when do you \\ Tom Neff want me to launch? Next April?" \\ tneff@bfmny0.UU.NET

This is probably not the solution you want (I've run into the problem
too), but if you give the switch -r to rn, it will start up in the
last newsgroup read.
