Sorry, my brain must have been semi - out of gear when I posted that
article.  The "One Article" bug IS a bit more extensive than I indicated,
as I've been reminded via mail.  The fix is simple, though.  The problem
is that first articles in spooling lists aren't getting picked up, period.
That IS reasonably serious.  Here's what I did about it.

in newsrc you'll find:

		if (nread != NULL)
			lownum = atoi(nread);
		else
			lownum = 0;

After this statement, simply put:

		if (lownum > 0)
			--lownum;

I COULD simply say lownum = atoi(nread) - 1; if I trusted the active list
to always have positive numbers.  Actually, the logic for reading articles
should work with lownum negative, but I don't want to allow it anyway.
