   Harold Stevens was all like, you know, and then said something like a ...   
      
   > Probably didn't define your "Postpone" directory correctly (or at all) in   
   > your ~/.slrnrc file. This directory must exist and be user writeable.   
   >    
   > Here's my ~/.slrnrc (note also browser spawning setups):   
   >    
   >   set scorefile "News/Score"   
   >   set postpone_directory "News/postpone_directory"   
   >   set non_Xbrowser "lynx -cfg ~/.lynx.cfg '%s' &"   
   >   set Xbrowser "konqueror '%s' &"   
   >    
   > (IMO slrn is very mum about help if ~/.slrnrc isn't perfect from gitgo)   
      
   Thanks for your time, Harold.
