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.
