I am using mutt as my news reader also. I am on gentoo compiled with 'nntp' use flag. I believe, it gets Vsevolod Volkov's patch. Anyway, I set "news_cache_dir", it created a file with server name and has list of newsgroups. But it doesn't store the "news hearders". Everytime, it gets the headers from the server. What am I doing wrong? I would like it to cache the headers and remember what I read.
Thank you for your time. Thanks, Malahal. PS: Also set "newsrc = "~/.newsrc"
