Sigh.  The problem is that the current C News is the first news system that
actually tries to obey the rules on case-sensitivity of message-ids, and
this has caused coordination problems in all directions.  You are probably
running into a disagreement between C News and NNTP on this.  The latest
NNTP clears this up.
