and you left out rebuild -s to totally nuke the article from the news.dat
and history file, else import would lead to the message being tossed since
its in your history as being received.
However, the problem is that the message in question is truncated. Your
news server would have to go thru the same contortions (more or less) to
get the article and then it still maybe truncated since the server it
recieves articles from has only that copy and would zap any other unless
it went thru the same dance along with any other servers in the path.
Suggestion:
Either wait for a re post or try either www.dejanews.com or
altavista.digital.com and search for the article. From either site you
can post a followup btw. Or mail the poster and ask for a copy.
And in case anyone is interested: Lynx for win32s has been ported and can
