   We have a group here at Rensselaer named rpi.acm.3B2.  Trying to post
   to this group from GNUS bombs because the group name somehow comes to
   be "rpi.acm.3b2".

In fact, GNUS does nothing about the case of newsgroup name. To know
what is happenning, try the following:

	telnet SERVER 119 [RET]
	group rpi.acm.3B2 [RET]
	[the reply comes here.]

If the reply says "411 Invalid group name.", that is the problem of
nntpd or something else.

   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?

The next coming GNUS will do.

Anyway, sorry for my late reply. Our gateway was down these days.
