    That's entirely plain text, all 7 bit ASCII. You managed to encode From, Subject, and the article itself.

    Nice fucking troll.

    However, whenever I try to open an article, tin says "Article
    unavailable." The same articles open just fine in other readers.

    Is this the same article number?

    Does this happen on other servers too, e.g paganini.bofh.team?
    You're right, it works with Paganini (I didn't know it existed - thanks for pointing it out!). So I suspect it's a provider issue.

    I accidentally used a non-ASCII character, realized it right away, and posted a follow-up. Still, no need for f-words toward someone new to Usenet. A bit of patience goes a long way.
