Hi cpmartin@iohk.com (Charles Martin, Hong Kong);

If you look in your CONFIG or GLOBAL file (whichever one you use)
you will see the following:

# Only one of the "hide" and "show" settings may be in effect.
# If both appear, the last one specified takes effect.

# Do not normally display these headers
hide=Approved Message-ID Newsgroups NNTP-Posting-Host Path Received \
References Return-Path Supersedes Xref X-Message-ID X-Newsgroups X-Status

# Normally display only these headers
#show=Date From Subject

You will note that "Newsgroups" is (by default) not normally
displayed. Edit "hide=" or press "v" (lower case while reading
article) to see the header.

Don't know why UQWK didn't take the message (are you sure?) but I
doubt if lack of a NEWSGROUP in the header was your problem.
