I don't know much about DOS newsreaders, but all the Unix readers I know of will handle crossposting correctly (modulo bugs, of course). >Now why would the darn newsreader make both disappear the second time, but >not the first ? Boggles my mind! Actually, from reading your description, my guess is that Trumpet does handle crossposting correctly, but only handles it for groups you're subscribe to. Since you weren't subscribed to a.b.p.a before, it didn't bother to mark them as read there. (Probably for minor efficiency reasons.) So as long as you're subscribed to both groups, you should see crossposted articles only once. --
