Hi,

This isn't really any help, but maybe it's your NNTP client? I use claws mail and thunderbird to access the echomail on my BBS via NNTP, and that doesn't happen on my system, so I would suggest maybe it's your NNTP client.

Have you tried either of the above clients I use? Perhaps give them a look as they might be better for your needs, unless the same happens with them too, and you'll be back to the start.

Sorry that this isn't really a "help" but maybe something to think about at least.

.... I wish life had a scroll-back buffer.
