[news.software.b] Problem posting articles

hashem@mars.jpl.nasa.gov (Basil Hashem) (07/07/90)

Configuration:  Cnews patchdate 25-May-1990
		nntp Version 1.5.8
		rn Patchlevel #46

In trying to post articles, everything works great if I post directly using
Pnews <newsgroup>.  But, from within rn, if I try to follow-up an article,
I get an error.  E.G. in trying to followup an article in alt.alt, I get:

/usr/local/bin/inews: alt.alt  matches no groups in /usr/lib/news/active
/usr/local/bin/inews: article in /home/basil/dead.article

Notice that there seems to be an extra space after the name of the
newsgroup and thus would fail to match any group in the active file.

I've traced it as far as I can. Does anyone have any idea what can be
causing this?

Thanks ahead of time,
