OK, I've nuked the old headers, re-downloaded them and marked everything
before today as read. Now, it shows 3 new headers in my favorite group,
but the moment I enter the group, it marks them read. How do I get them
back, and how do I stop it from doing this? Naturally, I have the posts
threaded, which means that I can't get them back just by looking at the
date without going through several *thousand* messages.
I run into this occasionally - it has to do with the news server
apparently giving he wrong high message counter. Have a look in
the .pan2 directory at the newsrc files and just edit the file that has
your group in it (grep is useful for identifying the file) and reset the
message counter manually.
Right now, it reads like this:
alt.sysadmin.recovery:
0-458244,458246-458250,458254-458257,
458260,458262-458263,458269,458275,458279-458280,458282-458287,
458289,458291-458295,458297-458300,458303-458308,458310,458312-458338,
458340-458342
but with all the numbers on one long line. How do I correct it?
