You should study a little bit NNTP RFCs ;-)
Anyway [EMAIL PROTECTED] could be the Message-ID of the article, a 'unique'
identifier associated to each article, while the Article Number is unique on
the server (but it changes on different servers).
the nntplib NNTP.article command can accept either Message-ID or Number as
argument, but if you want to use Message-ID you need to enclose it in brackets
<>.
So in your case this query should work:
myNntpObject.article('<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>')
