You don't say what program you are using to read the news.  So I can only
speak from experience with rn.

When 2.11 is installed, the DOXREFS line must be defined.  Edit the
localize.sh script file so that it will remove the comment leader.

If using rn, install all patches (40) and rerun from scratch, ie, answer
the questionaire again.  The make it again.

After all that is done, you should start seeing a Xrefs line in each
news article that is cross posted.  At that point, rn should only show
it to you once.

Ya, I have noticed that too.  Maybe Larry should consider this a bug and
send out a patch for it.  For now we are just going to have to look
at it again to get it marked.
