I repeatedly have the problem that gnu rnews doesn't always update my
.newsrc file properly. It seems that if there's a "missing' news
article, or if I skip over some messages using something like
"CTL-U;20;n" the .newsrc entry for that newsgroup doesn't get updated
at all. This is very annoying because it means I have to either jump
through lots of news again, or I have to update the .newsrc entries by
hand to keep them consistent. This is the most problematic when I've
been away for a matter of days and there's lots of news built up - I
have to keep track of .newsrc corrections precisely when I need to
jump ahead and ignore numerous messages.

Any help would be appreciated; I don't normally read this newsgroup,
so please email responses to me at the address below.
