mutt as news reader doesn't cache headers

[malahal@xxxxxxxxxx]

I am using mutt as my news reader also. I am on gentoo compiled with
'nntp' use flag. I believe, it gets Vsevolod Volkov's patch. Anyway,
I set "news_cache_dir", it created a file with server name and has list
of newsgroups. But it doesn't store the "news hearders". Everytime, it
gets the headers from the server. What am I doing wrong? I would like it
to cache the headers and remember what I read.

Thank you for your time.

Thanks, Malahal.
PS: Also set "newsrc = "~/.newsrc"
