I played around a bit. It seems when the nntp.r checks for messages
associated with a newsgroup, it also includes messages which have "expired."
This accounts for the "non-existant" messages for when you choose "N" for
next message and you see nothing but the options again. I ran into a series
of these messages, perhaps a half-dozen or more before the header and text of
a message finally appeared again. As for the message count, that seems
screwed up, too, because I always end up reading fewer messages than what the
nntp.r returns.
I'm not sure if trying to fix this would be more than just butting heads with
nntp.r which may have some issues.
