nntplib.NNTPTemporaryError: 441 Article has no body -- just headers

[Jon Bendtsen]

Hi

I'm trying to expand cvsmail.py so it posts to newsgroups, but i
constantly get this error message:
nntplib.NNTPTemporaryError: 441 Article has no body -- just headers

If i put the test message into a file then i can post it just fine,
no problems. But if i put the message into a StringIO, then i can
not post messages and i get the above error message. Where is the
problem?

>>> buffer=StringIO()
>>> f = open('/tmp/article')
>>> buffer.write(f.read())
>>> s=nntplib.NNTP('dknntp.laerdal.global')
>>> s.post(buffer)
Traceback (most recent call last):
