- This is correct. The problem is that Trumpet expects the newgroups command to
- return every single newsgroup if a very early date is used. This is not so
- with some news servers, resulting in quite a number of news groups being
- missing. I'll have fixed it in 1.0 Rev B
-
- The workaround is to delete news.grp.
