[news.software.b] re-reading article in rn

  Many thanks to all the people who e-mailed me, telling me how to re-read
old articles in rn. For those who asked me to pass on the answers:
the trick is the command string .1-$<cmd> which applies <cmd> to all
articles in the current newsgroup, read or unread. Thus .1-$= will list
all the subject fields, and .1-$m mark them all as unread, so rn will
offer them you again.
