10.06 How come more articles get selected than I expect?
Date: Sun, 2 Jun 1991 21:56:45 -0700 Check the setting of subject-match-parts. If this is on, then your subjects are considered matched if they match up to the first digit. For example if subject-match-parts is on, the subjects: someprogram Part 1/5 someprogram Part 2/5 are considered matches. So are v12345: someprogram Part 1/5 v12346: anotherprogram Part 1/23 as the "v" is identical up to the first digit. If you want to use subject-match-parts in a "comp.sources" type group, set subject-match-offset (the character position that matches are started from) to be beyond any digits that might appear in the first part of the subject.
