leafnode keeps a list of "interesting" newsgroups for small sites
that don't want all the groups of a large newsfeed, but it still
offers them to clients.  so if a client asks for a newsgroup not
currently collected from the upstream, leafnode will offer a default
article just stating the fact that leafnode will commence getting
this newsgroup for the client the next time fetchnews(8) is run.

here's the log of the NNTP dialogue, where a fresh installation of
mew-3.2 ordered an article of a yet non-existing article (slightly
edited for readability).  i'd like to know why mew failed to display
this default article:
