    I sometimes get a message 
    	Search failed: "^222.*$"
    while reading news with gnews. Gnews then refuses to access the article. I
    am using Gnews 2.0 with nntp access to the news.

    Anybody an idea? (I hope somebody is reading this group - I never have seen
    a message.)

I'm afraid that Gnews is pretty much an orphan.  I wanted to try and
support it in terms of bugfixes, etc., but I don't have time since
my advisor expects me to actually finish my dissertation someday.  I
set Matthew Wiener up with an account here so he could work on a new
version of Gnews, and he logged in a few times, but he seems to have
stopped (last login on Oct 2).  I fear he is under the same kind of
pressure that I am.  So, Gnews will probably receive no work except
that of it's users.  I will act as a central "official" patch
releaser if people want to send me fixes to 2.0.
