Article-I.D.: houxz.245 Posted: Mon Jan 10 17:41:05 1983 Received: Tue Jan 11 02:10:19 1983 References: watmath.4211 I have a fix to the article-id problem with control messages, which I will broadcast as soon as our machine ("machaids") recovers from some recent hardware problems. The fix is to have expire not delete from the history file the lines for control articles until after the default expiration period is over. Previously expire was deleting these lines without checking their date of arrival. Thus if the control article came back after expire was run, it would be processes as a new article. - Eric Bustad (Normally machaids!ekb)
