Same here. While on the subject of the client, has anybody else
experienced any of these (minor) bugs/irritants?
(1) Occasional register dumps when nntpserver (not ANU) has problems
(presumably corrupt spool/history list etc.)
(2) Sometimes fails to mark as read a crossposted article encountered
later in another group in a news reading session. Articles are
genuinely crossposted (ie. Identical Message-ID).
(3) Won't do a read/topic or read/identifier - says article was not found.
This has something to do with a bug in INN2.2 which my server runs,
which does not return the article number from the head command. Eg.
For read/identifier ANU news sends the command,
HEAD <message-id>
and gets back the response,
221 0 head <message-id>
and then attempts to look up ARTICLE number 0 which of course does not
exist.
The thing I cannot remember, is whether read/topic worked with previous
versions of INN on which read/identifer did work...
Tom.
