It will be fixed in a future release of the document. Not according to RFC977 3.8.1. It is a list of comma separated newsgroups but only two meta-characters are mentioned * and ! . Wildmat has * but it doesn't have !, at least not according to your para 5. In a similar vein, para 12.4 NEWGROUPS your syntax is NEWGROUPS date time [GMT] [<wildmat>] Whereas RFC977 has NEWGROUPS date time [GMT] [<distributions>] where distributions is a comma separated list of "the distribution portion of a new newsgroup (e.g, 'net' in 'net.wombat')". -- Paul Overell T U R N P I K E Ltd
