I don't *have* a .newsrc - I use my own newsreader, and it keeps its
"messages read" information in an utterly incompatible format, so I
used another name (.readrc) for it.  Does this mean I'm not allowed to
crosspost?  If so, you can bet that'll be the second thing I'll fix
when we get the new version.  (First thing will probably be AUTONEWNG.)
