USENET sucks, almost as bad as SMTP, if you expect reliable and reliably
reproduceable behaviour. It doesn't work that way. Even if the mail->news
gateway works, there are many hops involved in delivering the message to any
given NNTP server, and any one of them can go wrong. Or they can take a
little longer than expected.

But I don't read the newsgroup, I read the list. Maybe a few
newsgroup-readers can see if they got either message. I definately saw the
second.
