Subject: Kill command

I used the kill command in a newsgroup using the *  I had hoped that this 
would kill any present posting so I could start the next day fresh with 
only new postings.  The problem is that now it will show that there are 
say 34 postings but when I enter it, all the postings are once again 
killed and I can't read anything.  How do i get the postings back once 
they've been killed?  Or, how do I stop it from killing all new postings?

Since 'kill' filter is not yet avail. in Pine, I believe you are
using someother newsreader perhaps tin?, in which case there's an option
when choosing the kill command as to just mark read, delete, expunge...
so choose the first option that way you can yank them back in as unread.

You can also trash your kill preferences file the location of which again
depends on the newsreader you are using.
