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

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?
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/nntplib.py", line 570, in post

I believe NNTP, like SMTP, requires \r\n line termination.

I believe NNTP, like SMTP, requires \r\n line termination.

I will try it, but why does it then work when it posts the file? The
file is a std. unix file, so it should also only have \n line
termination.

I have now tried adding \r infront of all \n. That didnt help.

I tried making a tempfile.TemporaryFile(dir='/tmp') which did not
work either. Message is still:

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

with the help of #python on Freenode i found the problem. I didnt
seek back to 0. With seeking stringio works, and then i will use that.
