Hi Matthias - thanks for the reply.

I can find only two: 

delaybody = 0
delaybody_in_situ is undefined (commented out)
 
Are there others I should be seeing?

I have attached this (it is a unix-format text file and I'm sending this
from Outlook). It shows that the two groups causing the trouble have
size 2, where all the others have size 0.

cat -t /var/spool/news/interesting.groups/comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.rpg 

gives the number 9 on a line by itself, while

cat -t /var/spool/news/interesting.groups/rec.games.roguelike.angband

gives the number 4 (likewise)

Thanks again (and apologies to all for the stupid legalese at the bottom
of this email - I have no control over it)
