in reply to need help using NNTP

Maybe like the error says, your NNTP server doesn't implement the XOVER command? It's an extension to the NNTP protocol and not required, so that's not surprising.

    I thought that might be the problem too, but the following line of code works:  foreach $xover ($client->xover($client->group("$group"))) My basic assumption is that if xover works on all the messages in the group, it should work on a subset of messages, in this case the newest ones. Ali
