I've seen similar behaviour, where I've wanted to subscribe to a new 
group in order to post to it.  I open the group and read the 
placeholder, and then post to it.  When fetchnews runs, I see the 
posts appear, but I never see the message I sent even though it 
appears on upstream servers.

I have the strangest feeling I mentioned this before some time ago, 
but I couldn't find the message so maybe I imagined it.  It's 
certainly a long-standing feature.
