Description

Cannot read messages posted by some NNTP clients.

For example, if a message is posted with Mozilla Firefox .72 or Groupwise client 6.5 and someone tries to read them, the client just hands and times out. Messages posted with Outlook express work perfectly fine.

This is only an issue if there is a message body. If the message consist of only the subject, then it doesn't seem to cause any problems.
