read news

Hello,
I cann't read news with a group name beginning by a number
for example
read nntp://news.epita.fr/3dfx.game
connecting to: news.epita.fr
** Syntax Error: Invalid decimal -- 3dfx.game
** Near: (line 1) 211 83892 500422 587487 3dfx.game
Do you know a solution ??
Thanks
Mary

Hi Mary,
If there are odd characters or spaces in a file name or url, placing ""
around it often helps.
Try
nntp://"news.epita.fr/3dfx.game"
Cheers,
Allen K

Hi,
quoting did not work for me too.
Thanks, I report that to feedback.

Mary,Allen
I think the problem is deeper than that and calls for a bug report to
feedback. quoting did not work for me
(it caused the news server to be unrecognized)
>> read nntp://"news.continet.com/3dfx.support"
** User Error: No network server for NNTP is specified
** Near: read nntp:// "news.continet.com/3dfx.support"
neither does url-encoding the address
>> read nntp://news.continet.com/%33dfx.support
connecting to: news.continet.com
** Syntax Error: Invalid decimal -- 3dfx.support
** Near: (line 1) 211 0 959 958 3dfx.support selected
