[news.software.anu-news] Problem with news v5.9

limonce@pilot.njin.net (Tom Limoncelli) (10/08/89)

First somebackground: VMS 5.1, ANU NEWS v5.9, VAX 6330.  News and all
the procedures we used worked fine with ANU NEWS v5.8A.  Now all
messages in each batch are not being separated and posted each as
their own message.

I have figured out why messages are getting appended like this.

Basically, I do EXTRACT/ALL file.batch (in mail) then, in news I do
ADD FILE/retry/delete/accept/execute file.batch

I have tried EXTRACT/ALL/HEAD *and* EXTRACT/ALL/NOHEAD and they both
put all the messages into one post.  i.e. it doesn't split up the
file.

Is this a known bug in 5.9?  I've stopped my feeds until it can be
fixed.
