- % I sorted the active file and the grouplist. This works, except
-
- Again, I doubt the .newsrc (.grouplist) needs to be sorted ...
-
- % the grouplist determines the order of newsgroups appearing in the
- % screen, and it is no longer in the order that I like.
-
- That's the reason why I doubt this would be neccessary =:->
-
- % 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

- Oops?! It REALLY should read like this:
