| Regarding the strict GNKSA requirements (MUSTs), Gnus 5.8
| FAILS on the following points:
|
| 11b Will not refuse to post articles without subject
| 12b Fails to refuse to post messages with syntactically incorrect From:
|
| Gnus 5.8 violates `soft' GNKSA requirements (SHOULDs)
| in the following way:
|
| 3c Fails to encourage setting a Followup-To on large crossposts
| 7e Fails to omit `broken' Message-IDs.
| 16b Does not refuse posting an empty article
| 16d Does not refuse to post quoted text only
| 16f Does not try to prevent posting multiple copies entirely
`----
I don't think 11b, 12b, 3c, and 7e are issues in 5.8. At least in
<http://www.xs4all.nl/~js/gnksa/Evaluations/gnus-5.070044.txt>, they
don't fail. And 16b, 16d and 16f have been fixed in oGnus.
Thoughts?

I just tried posting with an empty subject, and I was denied posting.
So that seems ok. But then I posted an article with a From header
that says "Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen larsi@gnus.org>", and it was
posted. That has to be invalid, right?
