If mail arrives while I'm reading news, it prompts with (Mail), which is fine. So I move to another window and read the mail, save or delete as appropriate, run mail again to confirm that there is no more mail, and move back to the rn window. The problem is that, for the next several prompts (I haven't counted, it's more than 2 or 3 and doesn't seem to be related to switching newsgroups, running external programs, etc.) rn continues to say (Mail) even though there isn't any! I could exit from rn and restart it, but then it would start over at the beginning of the list of newsgroups. Does anyone know a way to fix this?
