Agreed 100%. Some usenet groups have become almost unreadable because of "custom" indent or indent not being used at all. Some MS SW users dont indent at all and just followup after a "-------" seperator or often nothing at all. Truly horrible. While freedom and choice is good, making it too easy for people to break standards using something like gnus is not a good way forward IMO. _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
