    Well, I was wrong: It's Oasis that creates with an article TXT a
SPOOL/MQUEUE/xxx.NWK file with 3 lines: first the message-ID, second the
newsgroup, and the third line is empty. It's this third line content that
NOS sends in the second GROUP command.

    You can't just manually delete this empty line, caus then Oasis just
hangs with error 26 (or was it 29? not sure...). I tried to put there the
newsgroup name (as line 2), but then Oasis shows 2 articles in his output
window, you have no more error 501 while posting on demon, but I cant post
on news.compuserve.com, I always have this 480 transfer permission denied!
Well, I know now it's not related with the double GROUP...

    Thanks! I'll test it! Is there a special format my email must have? It
works with _all_ newsgroups?

bye!
