When news 2.11 came along, it changed the way new newsgroups are created.
Under 2.10, the directory was created with the creation of the new group.
In 2.11, the directory was created with the first article.

It seems that rn (4.1) has trouble with this. If rn sees the new newsgroup
without the new directory, then it does not recognize it as a valid newsgroup,
but it remembers not to ask the user the next time, so even when articles start
to arrive, the user does not get notified.

Does anyone know of a fix for this? We are also waiting for the new version of
rn to come out, but will that solve the problem described above?

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give on this!
