Now you too should have newsgroups other than "junk". Does Matt Dillon know about this bug, I though I must have missed the post during one of my catchup on all newsgroup fits. Guesse that's why he left "c" out of dnews ;) You may have a problem different than this since I had all my news, it was just in a "junk" directory. (I think this is the rejects directory refered to in the docs.) -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Robert E.
