Hi!
Don't know about trn as I usually use nn for binary groups and knews for
other reading... old habits...
But if you can make trn save all tagged/selected messages individually
into a folder you could then use 'juju' on the contents of that folder
and let it find and order all the pieces and then decode them.
nn, to my knowledge, can't output to individual files, so I either
manage the saving of messages manually for those that arrive out of
order or intermixed with other messages I wish to decode, into a large
file, or sic juju directly on the news spool for the group if I want
most everything anyway...
