No, no such option I'm afraid. sn's message-id database doesn't concern itself with cross-posts, and the linked-to article doesn't know it's linked. If you wanted to script it though: you know the group that the crossposted article is in and the message-id, right? So, if 'snscan -i message-id' returns nothing, do 'snscan group-name' and grep for the message-id. -- Patrik Rådman · patrik at iki dot fi · http://www.iki.fi/patrik/ "Now, where was I?"
