Haven't used trn in many years, but even my old (1990's era) trn manpage discusses, albeit mind-numbingly, various ways to pull articles out. It doesn't seem obvious to me that article limits are related to yenc encoding; what is your thinking that they are related? The ":" commands appear to act on articles that have been selected; have you first selected the articles that you want to process? When in the past I had problems with newsreaders making mistakes with multipart articles (either threading them properly or decoding them properly), I reverted to the "just get them onto my local disk, then reassemble/decode them using a quickie shell script" method. If you can point out a specific sample article batch, perhaps we can try and see what's going on with those, mindful of a more general solution to your query. -- Henry Yen Aegis Information Systems, Inc.
