I know.  I mean, imagine people being dumb enough to actually stick to
RFC1036.  How daft can they get?  We all know they should abandon the
STANDARDS, don't we?

(Hint - read the bit that explicitly states that NNTP is a SEVEN-bit system,
and that you cannot rely upon 8-bit working all the time.  Clear enough for
you?)

TTFN,
Keith.
