(No, never!... ;-) : Also running recent (3-4)days 5.8.4 but not having that trouble. : Make sure the message ID that is in ^References: is the one you think : it is. OK, I just copied the References header of one of the articles I can't do a ^ on. I then re-entered the group and retrieved all of the articles. When I tracked down the parent, its Message-ID did indeed match the References header I had copied down. Dang it... So basically, ^ does the right thing for me only if the parent article is currently displayed in the summary buffer. If it's not there, I get a "Can't find parent article blah-blah" message. One other odd thing is that an "A r" to fetch the entire thread does still work, so I'm using that as a sort of work-around. I even tried this with a new .newsrc.eld file just in case something was corrupted, and I got the same behavior. Oh well, I'll keep futzing with it... -Emerick -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Emerick Rogul /\/ "how young are you, how old am i? emerick@cs.bu.edu /\/ let's count the rings around my eyes." ------------------------------------------------- 'i will dare', the mats
