Hello,

we installed the new CNews-patches a few hours ago and dropped a lot
of articles because of the new RFC-validation.

The main reason is "article header contains non-header line":

---- extracted from bad articles: ----

and *MUCH* more in a few hours... :-(

We don't think it was a good idea to drop a lot of articles due to
