Unfortunately if I have five thousand postings to read again, it's quicker to go through them and recover my pointers in trn than in any other newsreader. Archiving my .newsrc every night helps ... It seems to be to do with dropped connections or where the server closes the connection, but trn copes with the normal case, this is a rare exception (though often enough to be irritating!). It happens every couple of months here. Nick ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
