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".  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?
