In-reply-to: your article <350@megwiz.UUCP> > > There doesn't seem to be any expire line in the > news article header. So the only place it can get a date is from > the date line. You neglected to mention *which* date line you were referring to. I assume that you meant the "Date:" line in the article itself. There also is thefield within each line of the history file. It is not clear from the man page on expire(8) which *date* field expire(8) uses by default (if you don't use -i or -I): - the history file field (the time the article arrived), or - the Date: field in the article itself (the time the article was created). -- -Dennis Bednar {decvax,ihnp4,harpo,allegra}!seismo!rlgvax!dennis UUCP
