My thanks to everyone who recomended using 'r-' instead of '-' on readnews. However.... 1. Does '-' **ALWAYS** work on your system ? ..!utzoo runs amost the same cut about as our system and Laura (yes, the imfamous utzoo!laura) reports the same problem, with a 2N + or - 1 qualifier. 2. Does your system refuse to postnews to groups you know exist because you can read them ? This was going to net.followup until the system told me it didn't exist. 3. Do you sometimes get stuff going to wrong groups ? something like 25% of my stuff ends up in net.general *no matter where I post it to*. 4. ** UCB Mail Related *** When you edit incoming mail - e.g. for compression before saving, does the mail program then, after you do a 'w' from the editor, append the NEXT mail item to the one you edited and remove it from the list of headers. Thanks also to everyone who has flamed at me for my stuff turning up where neither you nor I intended, especially those who didn't bother signing their flames. (singing ?) I **THINK** this is going to net.news.b, but who knows. /anton
