Marc-Andre Lemburg notes about statparse():
""" The message ID is returned lowercased and there is no way to access the original ID the server sent. Now at least some news servers are very picky about the case of the ID and return errors when fetching articles with mixed case given a lowercased version of the ID. The solution is simple: remove the string.lower() call. """ (I might add that the lowercasing was probably introduced as a result of sloppy copy-and-paste coding; there's a string.lower in a similar piece of code a bit higher in the source, that makes more sense -- it's lowercasing the group name.)
