Sometimes (well, it happened twice) when I send a message, it ends up
not in the actual newsgroup, but in "nndraft:drafts", which, I
suspect, is not a group but nevertheless is reachable from the groups
buffer.

Any ideas as to why this happens?

I don't think I hit the wrong keystroke, but of course, that could
have been the case.

But even so, I've been unable to find a command to actually *do* send
the message.

(It is a group, a local one for your drafts.)

C-c C-c sends, C-x C-s (which is wired into many a pair of hands) saves
the message as a draft.

Perhaps that is it?

The draft is deleted when you send the message (if, however, you have -
say - messed with the internally used headers, maybe it wont be? :-))

When it is in the drafts group? Either open it for editing (press e) and
then send it as usual (C-c C-c), or - if it is already perfect and ready
to send - use D s.


Best regards,
