If a client posted a message with f=f, that message will have it       when received by any newsreader.              Smapi/JamNNTPd and Synchronet insert the Content-type header when exporting       from their JAM/SMB/... messagebase and sending to the client. The former adds       the f=f part there.               NB> Seems to me f=f is/was more of an email thing.              Mainly, I suppose, but it's used by TB and Seamonkey for both mail and news.              Carlos              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: cyberiada (2:341/234.1)       SEEN-BY: 15/0 90/1 103/705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/260 135/220       SEEN-BY: 135/225 153/757 7715 154/10 30 203/0 218/700 221/0 6 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/110 112 113 206 317 426 428 470 664 700 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 266/512 280/464 5003 5555 282/1038 291/111 292/8125       SEEN-BY: 301/1 310/31 320/219 322/757 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/120       SEEN-BY: 460/58 256 1124 467/888 633/280 712/848 770/1 5020/400 5054/30       PATH: 341/234 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
