Subject: Gnus-5.8.2, INN-1.5.1, Y2K: NEWGROUPS shows all groups on server now
Date: 04 Jan 2000 15:40:07 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87u2ktbmfs.fsf@Thanatos.Shenton.Org> (raw)
On one server I read from, I notice it now feeding me a list of (what
appears to be) all the groups it has. This just started since the Y2K
roll-over.
I notice when I do a:
NEWGROUP 000104 153700
to ask for all groups since right now, that it lists them all, as it
does when I ask it to list since some date in the future, like:
NEWGROUP 001004 000000
Since the NEWGROUP command only wants a 2-digit year, it seems
susseptible to Y2K insanity. Is there a Gnus workaround? Or is this a
server issue, with perhaps some sane windowing done in a version we
don't have (yet)?
Thanks.
