Guido van Rossum 98c17b3aee 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.)

# An NNTP client class. Based on RFC 977: Network News Transfer
# Protocol, by Brian Kantor and Phil Lapsley.
# Example:
#
# >>> from nntplib import NNTP
# >>> s = NNTP('news')
# >>> resp, count, first, last, name = s.group('comp.lang.python')
# >>> print 'Group', name, 'has', count, 'articles, range', first, 'to', last
# Group comp.lang.python has 51 articles, range 5770 to 5821
# >>> resp, subs = s.xhdr('subject', first + '-' + last)
# >>> resp = s.quit()
# >>>
#
# Here 'resp' is the server response line.
# Error responses are turned into exceptions.
#
# To post an article from a file:
# >>> f = open(filename, 'r') # file containing article, including header
# >>> resp = s.post(f)
# >>>
#
# For descriptions of all methods, read the comments in the code below.
# Note that all arguments and return values representing article numbers
# are strings, not numbers, since they are rarely used for calculations.
