- Roland specifically mentioned that he culled a lot of the

- ARN100, and you should also check out the online help {H} because
- it's pretty informative. Especially if you don't like hunting

-
- I have a couple of problems, one that was there before in the
- alpha version, and another that is new.
-
- I use Matt Dillons UUCP 1.16D, I have to create an active file
- using ARNMASTER (with the -A flag). This works fine.
-
- When I go to 'E' enter a new message, ARN insists upon putting in
- a header line Newsgroup: as 'rec/arts/sf-lovers' instead of the
- standard 'rec.arts.sf.lovers'. If I leave the '/' characters
- alone, then ARN doesn't complain BUT sendnews posts the article
- to my 'junk' newsgroup, because it sees the '/' chars, and throws
- up.
-
- If I [manually] change the '/' chars to '.', then ARN warns me
- about 'no known newsgroups in Newsgroups: line', but will send
- it anyway, and sendnews does the right thing, and it works.
-
- Note that when I F)ollowup, the '.'s in the Newsgroup line are
- kept, but ARN still complains of 'no known newsgroups.
-
- My active file is in this format:
-
- alt/flame
- alt/peeves
- alt/religion/computers
- alt/sources/amiga
-
- My grouplist file is in this format:
-
- alt/flame:
- alt/peeves:
- alt/religion/computers:
- alt/sources/amiga:
-
- Perhaps my configuration is screwed. Roland is away for a week,
- but I'll put up my .arnrc config anyway.
