- It's nice to see people provide enough information.
-
- Change the f flag to an n flag in the sys file.
- The f means to write the pathname and size in the togo file.
- Using n instead puts the message-id instead of file size.
- This is what nntpxmit uses so it can offer an article before actually
- opening it, which is a big timesaver if the article is rejected as duplicate.

- Cheers,
