When you send a message to a leafnode server and have the search dialog open, the message gets silently lost between Knode and the server. Knode does not report an error and puts a copy to the Sent-Folder, but on the leafnode server, no message is created in /var/spool/news/out.going.

Closing the search dialog before hitting the "Send" button avoids this problem and everything works fine. I therefore conclude it's a KNode problem.

Probably there is a connection to this phenomenon:

Normally, KNode does not create its own message-id (unless configured otherwise) but instead get them assigned from the newsserver (a local leafnode 1.11.5 spool in my case).

Under specific circumstances, knode shows an empty Message-ID: header in the post.

To reproduce the problem, try this:

* Configure KNode to show the message-id in articles
* Go into a newsgroup with at least one article (you'll need it to reply).
* Hit F4 and search for some articles. Keep the search dialog open.
* In the search result, hit 'R' for reply, write some stuff and press
  the "Send later" button.

Now, in your KNode outbox you should a message like this:

Note that this strange Message-ID does not appear in the source code of the
message itself:

Workaround:

* Close the search dialog before submitting the news article to the
  server.
