The Good News:  The "can't fgets" error is gone!  Woohoo!  Thank you
_very_ much!

The Bad News:  Now I get...

$ rnews -U
rnews: unexpected EOF from server after article
rnews: cant unspool saving to /usr/local/news/spool/incoming/bad/bigpond2e5Q2E
Broken pipe

:-(

What would you like to see for debugging?
