We've found another case where articles are printed out as garbage.  One of
our users disabled the default pager by setting the environment variable
PAGER to null.  He found that if he used the delete key to stop the printing
of a long article, all subsequent articles were printed as a few lines of
junk.  I don't know if this is related to Mark Gauldin's mail problem, but
it does have similar symptoms.  In our case, all articles were garbaged
until he quit readnews and went back in.  If anyone figures out what the
problem is, I'd like to hear it.
