Details

- open "Search Messages" for a news account
- search "Subject" "contains" "day/night" (the newsserver needs to support XPAT)
=> a news error will occur, eg. "500 What?" (actual message is server dependent)

The NNTP reveals that the / is interpreted as a nntp url path delimiter and the search part after the / is split off into some non-command:
