Description

My James 2.1.3 NNTP installation is working ok with Mozilla. The problem is,
when I post a message with Sylpheed (http://sylpheed.good-day.net/ ) it's
posted ok, and is listed in the messages list, but when I tried to read it
from Mozilla or from Sylpheed, the server stalls and the message is never
fetched. This only happens with messages posted from Sylpheed, with it I
can read all messages posted by Mozilla without problems.

I analized the NNTP repository, and there is a difference between Sylpheed
and Mozilla posted messages. In Sylpheed ones the end of file ISN'T a cr/lf
or a \n, so, if I add that character at the end of file now I can read it
with any NNTP client. The same happens if I add some \n's at the end of the
message when posting from Sylpheed. I'm not sure if this is a Sylpheed bug
or a James one, feel free to forward it to the Sylpheed mailing list's .
