- file.

-
- If a message-id is preceded by a newsgroup, for example:

- and if the message-id cannot be found, then the program will look for
- the first article in the newsgroup that references the message-id. In

-
- If a message-id is preceded by a newsgroup, for example:
- clari.news.demonstration: <ny-kkkU2NT340pe@clarinet.com>
- and if the message-id cannot be found, then the program will look for
