4398There is a bug in NNTP version 1.5.10, such that when multiple requests
4399are sent to the NNTP server, the server only handles the first one
4400before blocking waiting for more input which never comes. NNTP version
44011.5.11 claims to fix this.
4402
4403You can work around the bug inside Emacs like this:

4405@lisp
4406(setq nntp-maximum-request 1)
4407@end lisp
4408
4409You can find out what version of NNTP your news server is running by
4410telnetting to the NNTP port (usually 119) on the news server machine
4411(i.e., @kbd{telnet server-machine 119}). The server should give its
4412version number in the welcome message. Type @kbd{quit} to get out.
