Wrong.
Waffle will. It stores the articles in duplicate files, too.
This rn I'm using right now will show me crossposts twice; it's installed
on a SysVr3.0 system that doesn't have dbm. (Now, go rant about "poorly
configured software" or "improper setup" in alt.flame.)
I suspect there are a few more newsreaders out there as well, that I'm
not familiar with, that are also not very good at handling crossposted
messages. Isn't it a bit arrogant of you to presume you're aware of all
newsreaders that exist, and are familiar with all their features?
