We are upto patch 39 of rn, and have installed the 2.11 inews,
and somewhere along the way we lost the Xref: recognition feature.
inews is inserting the Xref: line properly (the article numbers are
correct), but rn insists on showing the cross-posted article
even after you have read it once.
Haven't the rest of you been suffering this problem? What went wrong?

What went wrong? Yep, it happened to me and I was completely mystified for about a day. You need to rerun rn's Configure shell script, and when it asks you if you're running 2.10.3 or later, say "yes". -- Larry Campbell The Boston Software Works, Inc.

You might also examine Configure by hand. When I applied the
ill-distributed patch #29, it messed my Configure and placed
norelay='undef'
outside the conditional section. I guess part of the blame sits
on me since I kept on re-trying patch 29 automatically before I
gave up and applied it by hand.
I didn't discover this until several iterations of Configure/make/rn
still didn't respect the Xref line...
