[news.misc] Annoying rn Problem

mangoe@mimsy.UUCP (Charley Wingate) (06/09/87)

There seems to be a problem with rn that is associated with the use of kill
files.  What happens is that I come along and read a group with a kill file,
but I save some of the articles for later.  In the meantime, new articles
for that group arrive.  When I go and read the same group later, the correct
count is initially displayed, but after the kill file processing, the old
articles are marked as read, and do not appear.  According to Gene
Spafford's postings, we are running the most current version of rn.  Has
anyone else seen this problem?
