[news.software.b] rn question: how to jump to articles that are not expired

tr@wind.bellcore.com (tom reingold) (06/17/88)

I guess the title says it.  Background: I am using rn on an nntp
client.  When I go to a newsgroup I have not read in a while and
it has old articles, probably gone due to expiration or cancellation,
it says "skipping", clears my screen, and waits a second for me to
read the message.  Argh.

Is there a key I can press to jump to the unexpired articles?  The
only solution I have found for this is to edit my .newsrc file and
guess where the articles start.  This can take many trial and error
cycles.

Thanks.
