If you're using 'rn', then you don't have to deal with messages being appended into a single large file.

Then your messages will be filed by newsgroup in individual files. aem a.e.mossberg - aem@mthvax.miami.edu - MIAVAX::AEM (Span) - aem@umiami.BITNET Let us dare to read, think, speak and write. - John Adams
