No rank newbie would know enough to munge his From header's
email address like that.

That's an MTA (mail server). Not Windows, either. Linux/Unix.
Strangely out of place on this list.

That's not the posting history of a rank newbie, either. This
guy knows the Usenet very well indeed.

Obviously, this is a troll's sockpuppet.

I doubt it. No Usenet pro would use that piece-of-crap
newsreader.

Yes. POP3 has a LIST command. Quite a few others, too.
TOP is my favorite.

Don't help trolls. Especially trolls interested in MTAs, which
generally means _spammer_. Or wannabee spammer.

And I wouldn't want one to understand POP3 servers either.

Bet he has a sig written to make everyone think he hates spam.

Note: I won't be downloading any articles on this thread.
