Re: power loss while receiving news

Hi Nigel,

I can delete the last 675 entries from the history file, will that just
cause the overview record to be recreated? What about the history.hash
and history.index files?

The second point of the process does that (purge of the overview records and recreation of the history.dir/hash/index files):
2- running the expire process ("news.daily notdaily" called with the same parameters as in crontab)

I can't believe it's as easy as removing a few
lines from history and starting the transfer at the point of the last
missing message.

Not everything needs being complicated :)
