rejected by the server; i have no problem posting to alt.test; and
i'm trying to toubleshoot the problem further.)

I figured out the immediate reason for the failure: when replying
to *certain posts*, my newsreader omits the Newsgroups header from
the response. Why it does this is still a mystery to me, but at
least now I know what to look out for. Then again, I use the
"venerable" (i.e. decrepit) nn as newsreader, so this discovery
probably won't help many of those reading this...

Perhaps it's similar to problems in the even-more-venerable trn3.6 that
come from excessively long References: headers?

I used to use nn, now I use tin which is fairly similar and still
being maintained.
