[gnu.emacs.bug] 18.54 rnews missing feature & bug

tli@sargas.usc.edu (Tony Li) (11/11/89)

Emacs version 18.54
Sun-4, SunOS 4.0.3
Rnews mode

1) While in rnews mode, reading new articles sequentially, if you come
across an article which is not available, the 'n' (next article)
command fails, telling you that there is no next article.  It does not
move you forward to the next available article, and you have to use
the 'j' (jump) command or use '^U2n' to skip over the missing article.
Woe unto those who encounter a string of unavailable articles.

2) Once an article has been read, it is very difficult to get back to
it.  It would be nice if there was some way of scrolling through
articles which have been read.

This is a test.  This is a only a test.  In the event of a real life
