[gnu.emacs.gnews] BUG REPORT: index auto-killing doesn't work

nagel@paris.ics.uci.edu (Mark Nagel) (06/17/89)

Summary:
  Hook kills fail to work on successive articles when indexing.  Does
anyone have a solution?

Description:
  Creating a hook that kills articles based on, e.g., the Subject
field will cause only some articles matching the kill criteria to be
killed if you first enter Subject mode.  I reported this bug to Matt
once and he responded with something that I failed to keep.  Suffice
it to say that he didn't feel that it would be easy to fix and didn't
offer any immediate help.

Repeat-By:
  Add a hook kill in a group for some common subject.  Go into index
mode upon entering the group.  You will see that only some of the
articles matching the kill criteria have actually been killed.

-no fix known-

If anyone has fixed this bug, could you please post the patch or
function replacement(s) here?  I know I'd appreciate it and I'm sure
many others would as well.
