If you mark articles as "read" with the 'c' command, rn apparently
does not mark the xref'd articles as read in all groups in which they
appear.  I'm undecided as to whether this is a bug or a feature.

Incidentally, I couldn't tell from your posting which patchlevel
of news and/or rn you're at; news 2.11 is at patchlevel 8 or so,
rn 4.3 is at patchlevel 40 or so.
