That's a real problem. Accoring to offical Usenet RFCs, usenet headers have to be 8bit clean - 8bit chars may only occur in rfc2047 (qp) format. > My Pterodactyl Gnus v0.84 uses RFC 2047 encoding for mail, and I > haven't yet been flamed for using RFC 2047 in news, so I don't think > it does so there. I've been flamed multiple times for 8 bit headers not being rfc 2047-encoded in my pgnus usenet headers. According to my investigations, the flamers were right. Thus, Gnus should use RFC2047 header encoding for news, too. -- So long. Ulrich
