There is a 'something like' ignore good 220's when art. num./Msg-ID
missmatch err. somewhere check box, I think it can happen when (as Dave
said) the NNTP server has a problem with its's own article numbers, but
the Msg-ID works (as it should if made right) and you get the right part.

Its not too much of a big deal, as long as you are getting the right part
and dont have a directory littered with the wrong parts, as I had the
other day when a testing servers frontend had a big problem.
