I think (but am not sure) that the problem lies in fetchnews::doxover().
fetchnews writes a "pseudobody" which confuses the heck out of the
nntpd. The following patch (for 2.0b8, no change in the nntpd) may
help:

 		if ( ( f = fopenmsgid( c, FALSE ) ) != NULL ) {
 		    fprintf( f, "%s", hdr );
-		    fprintf( f, "\n[ Thread has been marked for download ]\n" );
 		    fclose( f );
 		    store( c, f, newsgroups, messageid );
 		}

Unfortunately, this patch will not affect articles that have been already
downloaded.

Please send feedback.
