Spaces in message IDs make them unsuitable for news. This really, really does break things, honest, I swear. I'm not just making this up. :) In general, the statements in RFC 1036 putting additional limitations on the article format *are* implemented on Usenet and *are* relied on in practice by Usenet software. But, rewriting your statement to say "there is nothing inherent in RFC 2822 with RFC 1036 limitations applied that makes it unsuitable for news," I agree. > So, the claims that mail and news are not the same was either misleading > and/or wishful thinking.
