I'm getting an error posting the transcripts. Let's see if this works.
Yes, it did which means that there is something on the transcripts that is breaking submissions through the web interface.
Attempt to fetch articles in one pass - MacSOUP 2.4.4 and free-conversant
Here is the TCP Command Log from MacSOUP:

Fetching only(!) headers (subjects and authors) in MacSOUP 2.4.4
Note that the following transcript shows that the article was downloaded in one pass even though the MacSOUP settings were set not to download the articles. Perhaps it's MacSOUP at fault but I don't think so as it works perfectly when connected to other NNNTP hosts.
The section of the transcript in bold highlights an unrecognised command. This might have something to do with the 'bug'.
I suspect that MacSOUP also automatically tags and fetches messages written by me or written in reponces to one of my posts. This would explain the immediate ARTICLE command without waiting for the 'fetch tagged messages' pass.
