Maybe someone can help me. I have a problem with the postnews distribution Distribution feature. Whenever I specify a limited distribution (like nj) to a newsgroup it gets posted to the whole newsgroup instead. This reults in my getting burned to death!!! I am tired of being flamed!!! This is what happens: Postnews after prompting for Subject,Newsgroups,and Distribution places you in a vi file. I then get the following headers in the file: Subject: xxxx Newsgroups: xxxxx Distribution: xxxx I then write my article ending it with :wq which postnews then posts. The problem is postnews ignores the Distribution feature and sends it all over the world so people everywhere in the newsgroup get a chance to see what's going on in nj. I don't know if this bug was present from when we first started using the post new software, or it is a new bug. Does anyone have a similar problem, or know of a FIX ?????? If you would, please either respond by e-mail or call (201) 949-3645 Thanks, Richard
