NNTP Post reply

[Leon]

Hi,

Basically I've written a NNTP-client which is able to post new messages,
but inable to post replies to messages.

I've tried posting a reference string into the header of the new article
containing only the message-Id I reply to : results in a new post

I've tried posting a (concat) reference string into the header of the new
article containing all message-id's (message-tree) of the message I reply
to : results in a new post

It comes down to: (request to server transcript)
---------------------------------------------------
From: [e-mail]
Newsgroups: microsoft.publi c.dotnet.langua ges.csharp
Reference: <messageid1<mes sageid2>
Subject: Re: MessageSubject I reply to

[body text]

..

---------------------------------------------------

And I'm at a loss atm, what am I doing wrong here, or am I barking up the
wrong tree (in this case: reference)?

TIA,
Leon

You might want to review
http://www.mibsoftware.com/userkt/rfc1036/0052.htm. The basic problem
could be that the header is References, not Reference.

Tom,

thanks! Since I've been staring at the code for hours.. I didn't see that
anymore; LOL, stupid me!

Thanks!
