[net.news.b] Lost dead.article data

james@osi3b2.UUCP (James R. Van Artsdalen) (09/25/86)

If I post a message to a newsgroup that is de-activated via an "n" in the
/usr/lib/news/active entry for that newsgroup (version 2.10.3 B), the posting
is refused and one of the programs tells me that the message is saved in
"dead.article".  Unfortunately dead.article looks like this:

----- News saved at 25 Sep 86 04:55:13 GMT

with nothing else.  Does anyone know what might be wrong with my configuration
to cause it to fail to save the article?
