Sorry for the delay in feedbacking --- I have been quite busy with a few
new bugs on jPicEdt these days.

Having said that, I did not really know about the Agent... I will read
the manual and check that.

Well, I am accessing through a free server named news.gegeweb.org that
is provided by a good willed person --- so I would not like to bother
this kind person again to create a new account just for the sake of
debugging my gnus. So, I will do that as a last resort.

Hopefully there is an explanation, as I wrote it is quite surprising
that for some groups like comp.lang.perl.misc or gnu.emacs.gnus, things
seem normal, and for others like fr.comp.text.tex,
comp.soft-sys.math.scilab or fr.comp.applications.emacs that does not
work. Curiously it seems that those group that do not work are those for
which the server it probably located in France --- ?! --- like myself.
