Hello,

I was wondering how the algorithm for retriving the bodies of articles 
in delaybody groups works.

When fetchnews gets all the way through the list of servers and hasn't 
been able to post certain articles in out.going, it moves them to 
failed.postings.

But what about delaybody articles that are not sucessfuly retrievd 
after all servers have been gon through? Do they get silently dropped? 
Or ar they retained, to be tried next time? How does this work?
