This is not correct. ListProc 6.0c creates headers which are similar to the
"bitnet-type" ones, and the license agreement prohibits you from changing this
(although I'll concede that I don't know the details). LISTSERV on the other
hand gives you a choice between 6 header types, including IETF, on a per-user
basis with a per-list default. I run a number of LISTSERV lists which are
gatewayed by a local unix box (I don't run NETNEWS). I don't know what software
is being used, but the person who runs the box said it was "standard" and
"nothing special" had to be configured.
