Trying to post to this group from GNUS bombs because the group name somehow comes to be "rpi.acm.3b2". I am not sure whether it is inews that does the conversion to lowercase or GNUS, but I suspect it might be the latter because other people can successfully post to the group through their interfaces. It is possible the converison to lowercase is correct; I have not dug into the RFC to check. On a tangent note, why do articles retrieved via message-id have to include the <> characters? Since all message-ids have them, why not provide them through GNUS if they are not already given by the user? Dave -- tale@rpitsmts.bitnet, tale%mts@rpitsgw.rpi.edu, tale@pawl.rpi.edu
