When I go into a newsgroup which I've read previously and do carriage
return on any of
the first few threads to read the articles, the articles are not
displayed.  I can sometimes see a quick flash of a message "article
##### not available.  What seems to be happening is that tin wants
to deliver the original article of a thread, even if it's been
read.  But apparently the original article has been timed out and
deleted from the system, and can't be displayed.  So the message is
flashed and none of the followup articles in the thread can be read.
Sometimes I have to go through dozens of threads to get one I can read.
This is quite annoying, is there a fix or workaround?

Marty
