It seems that this may be a problem with the server. When I test with other servers, the message id is enclosed in angle brackets and everything goes OK. In addition, on this server a LIST command shows only the one newsgroup, but in lynx "nntp://email.sparklist.com"; shows several groups on the screen other than jpsoft_support.
