I installed slrn and slrnpull, connected to my news provider and ran slrnpull to pul 20 articles in the newsgroup com.os.linux.announce.
When I run slrn --spool, I get a screen with one row: --> U 20 comp.os.linux.announce When I press the space bar or return the 20 changes to 0 with a message at the bottom of the screen "no unread articles found" >From the help screens I cannot find out how to read the articles. Further, I found that in the directory /var/spool/slrnpull/news there are lots of articles that slrnpull pulled form the news provider because when I installed it, it was configured to work with ppp-up. However, I cannot read those articles. They do not show up when I use 'L' in slrn. When I do a 'du' on those directories it reveals that it is using a large amount of disk space. How do I get to read a news article using slrn?
