We're running ANU/NEWS V5.8 (plus all patches as distributed to date) and
have encountered a problem with articles posted to multiple newsgroups.
Although I've not chased the problem down I thought I'd advise the
discussion group:
Articles posted to multiple groups will show as items in
each group but the message exists as a
[news.group.name]X.itm file in only ONE of the groups.
Attempts to access the article from other groups will fail.
Looking for help.
