Actually this may be an Emacs thing. With Emacs I can select the
buffer "*nntpd*" in "*server news.dircon.co.uk nntp *nntpd**". However
with XEmacs I can only select the entire "*server news.dircon.co.uk
nntp *nntpd**" buffer.

Actually what the "*server news.dircon.co.uk nntp *nntpd**" buffer
contains is a number of the articles from the group (rather than
headers) but by no means all of the articles.
