Note how you are currently reading uncorrupted Message-ID <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> at gmane.org, and <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on http://groups.google.com/groups?group=linux.debian.user I suppose one is supposed to put both Message-ID's into the References header if one follows-up. Here is what ensued when I protested those taking artistic licence with my article's licence plates.

And there is also the problem of multiple gateways, when I started working on linux.* I was not rewriting the Message-IDs and *many* people complained about this. As I explained yesterday to the mailman developers, there is also the problem of the Usenet Message-ID rules being stricter than RFC 822, so many valid (or formally invalid but working) mail Message-IDs would have to be rewritten anyway. Considered all things I think that this complaint is bogus and rewriting Message-IDs is not a problem for users and solves enough problems that it's not worth the effort of finding a way to only rewrite some of them. >It would appear that the only reason for a duplication is if the same >message has already been gatewayed to news.

That seems a pretty strong reason to rewrite them. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
