At the "x unread articles in 'newsgroup' [yn]" type g and then the
name of the newsgroup you flew past.  Don't press return after the g,
immediately enter the newsgroup name.

Then, when it says 0 news articles, etc, enter y.
Then, do a 'P' at the next prompt.

I also skip an article, yours was just one of them, that is the last
in the newsgroup.

I Hope this helps, as it works for me.
