I don't know. But in the summary or where articles are listed, I've seen missing parent of article it is because I previously read it -- at that buffer there is menu item "article" then "fetch parent of article" Previously read I think are in the .newsrc file -rw-r--r-- 1 al users 917 2006-03-22 19:36 .newsrc -rw-r--r-- 1 al users 5589 2006-03-22 19:36 .newsrc.eld -rw-r--r-- 1 al users 5605 2006-03-20 04:22 .newsrc.eld~ -rw-r--r-- 1 al users 71 2005-12-17 23:59 .newsrc_orig -rw-r--r-- 1 al users 911 2006-03-20 04:22 .newsrc~ I made .newsrc_orig as a copy of a fresh .newsrc before downloading and reading any messages. It has only the groups: alt.os.linux.slackware: alt.test: comp.lang.perl.misc: perl.beginners: each group with a colon at end (I've edited .newsrc before, removing some of the message numbers which then those messages show up again and can read again too. I could cp .newsrc_orig .newsrc to start afresh. -- Alan. _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
