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. - Eric Bustad machaids!ekb
