Keywords: Oh, I remember that one. Now let's see where .... Message-ID: <1985@infmx.UUCP> Date: 2 Aug 89 18:02:36 GMT Distribution: usa Organization: Informix Software Inc., Menlo Park, CA. Lines: 18 Well, OK. Let's say I see a reference to Message_ID: <1965.UUCP@infmx> . RN seems to have it's own sequential 'article number' method of finding postings. How would one convert the Message_ID into an article number, so that one could refer to it directly with POSTNEWS or perhaps go reread it with RN? Is there a majic utility for this?
