Subject: Unsubscribing from Newsgroups?

Using Pine 3.93 running under ULTRIX V4.4 (Rev. 69), I can't seem to
properly unsubscribe from newsgroups.  When I use the D command in the
Folder Index, I'm prompted to confirm the removal, and all appears well. 
But when I restart Pine, the unsubscribed newsgroups reappear. 

In my .newsrc, the unsubscribed newsgroups were !'d.  The only way I could get
Pine to ignore the groups was to delete them from the .newsrc.  Is this
normal? Thanks in advance.

I seem to recall some bugs in 3.93 that might be related to this...
Please see if it happens in 3.95.

>normal? Thanks in advance.

NN ignores entries that have been marked with '!' replacing the ':' in
.newsrc, and I'd assumed PINE did the same thing. Maybe this was fixed in
one of the later versions?

Regards,

Craig.
