    RFC1036 is as good as any

    In addition to this, John should probably look at RFC977 which
    explains how to post messages to the server.

    You're both out of date. RFCs 5322, 5536, and 5537 are the places to go.
    Thanks for this. I'll have a look at these. The older RFC's seemed to conflict with what I was seeing.
    .... Fortunately, if one is injecting a message via NNTP,
    the server is required to add a message ID header if the proto-article
    does not contain one. So for a simple injection-only NUA in REXX one
    can just omit the header entirely and sidestep the problem, as
    mentioned. (-:
    This was already suggested by Trevor and I once I stopped trying to
    generate a message ID, my code started working!
    Thanks to all for your help! (I'll be back if I run into more
    difficulties down the road.)
