Standards are the things which allow complex interactions to take place in this big wide world of ours. I'm sure you would be upset most times if a standard was not adhered to - think world wide web, human rights or your neighbour choosing to drive on the opposite side of the road to the rest of you. Standards matter.

Yeah I _am_ upset most of the time cuz 90% people use exploiter which does not implement standards and web sites don't use standards cuz 90% people don't use standards.
And in this case, I'm upset cuz my very standard news server doesn't deliver messages sent by non-standard readers.


I have no detailed knowledge of the specific issue, but if someone is
breaking the rules, isn't it they that are 'wrong'?

Well, I'd say so. But again, the point is I need these articles _delivered_.

OK now after I've read the rest of the thread - thanks for patch!

Regards...
