What I've done is turn this into a new define (TOO_OLD) that I can set independently of my expires. The fix is trivial and I've passed it to Rick for inclusion in his next posting of bug fixes for 2.10.2. Another things I've done is cause inews to save old articles in the group 'obsolete' instead of 'junk' because I find it easier to keep an eye on why articles are being zapped that way... chuq -- From the Department of Bistromatics: Chuq Von Rospach {amd,decwrl,fortune,hplabs,ihnp4}!nsc!chuqui nsc!chuqui@decwrl.ARPA How about 'reason for living?'
