Hi all,

I've just asked in fr.usenet.8bits and fr.usenet.forums.evolution whether
we could create in fr.* a testing UTF-8 newsgroup name.

Michel Guillou reports that DNews fails to use such names:
<news:[email-masked]>

    New group {neottia.test.&#965;&#964;&#966;8}, Modflag {y}, Creator {MG}
    Description {Local, pour les tests dans un forum à nom UTF8.}
    Group creation failed, check ME feed in newsfeeds.conf and max_groups
    setting (examine dnews.log too)

The corresponding newsgroup is:

    neottia.test.υτφ8
