It is not necessary to replicate another copy of what's already in the       "actual" header. Rewriting the Subject and all the dates seems totally       overkill.                      ML> that depends on the news server you are using to read... JAMNNTPd systems        ML> can do this but i'm not sure about others... news just simply doesn't        ML> have the same capabilities that pure FTN has and there is definitely        ML> some loss of information...              Jammnntpd still seems to retain a lot of the kludges.
