Normand Veilleux: >Thanks for the info. It would appear that I am the unfortunate user of a >newsreader that does not support cross-posting properly! It's the Trumpet >News for DOS. ah. I don't know much about DOS newsreaders, but all the Unix readers I know of will handle crossposting correctly (modulo bugs, of course). >Now why would the darn newsreader make both disappear the second time, but >not the first ? Boggles my mind! Actually, from reading your description, my guess is that Trumpet does handle crossposting correctly, but only handles it for groups you're subscribe to. Since you weren't subscribed to a.b.p.a before, it didn't bother to mark them as read there. (Probably for minor efficiency reasons.) So as long as you're subscribed to both groups, you should see crossposted articles only once. --
Cross posting would mean that those who can get access to the new group (like me) can still see all the nice pictures. -- Tom ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- /\\\ -- Thomas Langberg -- Email: tl...@swl.msd.ray.com -- -- oo-@ -- Raytheon Company -- Phone: 508-858-9044 (direct) -- -- ^ / -- 50 Applehill Dr. -- "Thru the gateway, off the -- -- v_/ -- Tewksbury, MA -- repeater, over the T-1 -- -- -- 01876-0901 -- backbone, nothing but 'Net" -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
