Sorry, but that's too advanced for me. First I would try to check if it's a real bug. Perhaps try setting (setq nntp-record-commands t) which sends nntp-commands to Buffer *nntp-log*. Then you can see which articles it fetches and see if it acts correctly. Helping to fix a bug (if it really is one) is much better than working arround it. Best regards, Tassilo
