[Virtualacorn-list] News messages not debatched in Pluto

I have a RisCube and recently purchased !NetFetch3 for sending and
fetching email and news to be read on Pluto.  Formerly I used
!Voyager with Pluto on my RiscStation R7500 and find that NetFetch
works fine on the R7500 and all email and news is debatched to
Pluto.  On VA however, although email is sent and debatched
automagically in Pluto, not so news messages.  News messages are
fetched OK, but are not debatched when the debatch button is
clicked on Pluto.  I have to shift-click on the Netfetch icon and
go to the file !NetFetch.Apps.!Newshound.News.folder and
drag-and-drop the file dunNews there on to the Pluto icon to
download the messages to Pluto then delete the dunNews file ready
for the next fetch.  Pluto transports are set exactly as they are
on the R7500, i.e. Hermes for email and NewsHound for news.  I have
a broadband connection.  
Has anyone any suggestions how to completely automate news
fetch/read on VA?
