Paul Hovnanian is pretending that my headers are the problem,
but, as anyone can see, his Seanet.COM does not respect
the ??? MIME encoded-word syntax ??? ( RFC 2047 )
which doesn't rely on other fields in the header of an email or post.


I suppose if you had any idea of how news servers and the NNTP protocol
worked, you'd understand what about your statement was incorrect.


I agree. It is the responsibility of the newsreading software, not the
server, to transform character encodings and display on the screen.

Well, from where I sit, Paul's using iso-8859-1, Jeff is
using UTF-8, and Ben specifies nothing at all.

I'm not sure what I'm specifying (the vi editor I'm using
for this post is fed a template, which does not contain a
Content-Type: in the headers).

(I use Leafnode feeding from Teranews. It's vaguely possible
it's bodging something -- Jeff's post in this thread had a lot
of question marks.)
