Hi all,

I've just asked in fr.usenet.8bits and fr.usenet.forums.evolution whether
we could create in fr.* a testing UTF-8 newsgroup name.

Michel Guillou reports that DNews fails to use such names:
<news:[email protected]>

    New group {neottia.test.&#965;&#964;&#966;8}, Modflag {y}, Creator {M=
G}
    Description {Local, pour les tests dans un forum =C3=A0 nom UTF8.}
    Group creation failed, check ME feed in newsfeeds.conf and max_groups
    setting (examine dnews.log too)


The corresponding newsgroup is:

    neottia.test.=CF=85=CF=84=CF=868

--=20
Julien =C3=89LIE

=C2=AB Ne crains pas d'avancer lentement, crains seulement de t'arr=C3=AA=
ter. =C2=BB (proverbe=20
chinois)=20
