I run an email-to-news gateway of the pc532 mailing list. Up until
today I was silently ignoring this thread, thinking that I was ok.
Turns out I wasn't. No big deal - I fixed my posting software by
changing to the r$ provided flavour.

If you have a problem, fix it at the source. Don't depend on others
to do the work for you. Cnews is _NOT_ broken, it is enforcing good
and proper restrictions.

I like it.
