For better or worse, usenet decided long ago to have a more
restrictive syntax than that of email. Gateways have been dealing
with this for a long time. It's occasionally annoying because a
message that is gatewayed from email to news and back suffers
information loss from the gateway.
My guess is that most gateways just don't care. I.e. the gateway will
try to just send the mail as-is to a newsgroup ... and if that fails, it
just fails.
Because most mail user agents actually use a very restrictive syntax
when generating mail, the mails they generate are compatible with news.
So these gates will work most of the time.
