(Correct me if I'm wrong). I have a set of hacks to store the old article-id in the dbm database, while keeping the new message-id in the human-readable history file. This should reject the dups for those of us with DBM. It requires changes to rnews, expire, and cvt.hist. I will test this for a few days, and if it seems to work, will post it.
