When using rn I often just get a subject listing with '=' and then 
pick a particular article to read.  I'd then like to be able to 
mark as read all the articles up to that one so they don't show up
again in my next '='.  I've tried 1-.j with disasterous results, it
junked a couple of hundred expired articles!

Incidentally I had always presumed that having you full name in
a .name file was standard, rn uses .fullname.  It also presumes that
your mailbox can be found from the enviroment variable MAILNAME where
I though MAIL was normal.
