   Hi,   
      
   This isn't really any help, but maybe it's your NNTP client? I use claws mail   
   and thunderbird to access the echomail on my BBS via NNTP, and that doesn't   
   happen on my system, so I would suggest maybe it's your NNTP client.   
      
   Have you tried either of the above clients I use? Perhaps give them a look as   
   they might be better for your needs, unless the same happens with them too,   
   and you'll be back to the start.   
      
   Sorry that this isn't really a "help" but maybe something to think about at   
   least.   
      
   ... I wish life had a scroll-back buffer.
