i agree.  MS is going to have to put in workarounds that
look for mailing lists and specialccase sympa, EzMLM,

the guy who runs gmane, i wish i could find it.


I suspect you mean this post:

(btw, the guy who runs gmane, Lars Ingebrigtsen, also has written the
worlds best MUA, which I proudly use. ;-)


One problem with putting in workarounds is that it will have to be put
into the spec.  Otherwise, things like the SUBMITTER and checked PRA
values may not match since they are generated by different systems.
That is going to lead to a *very* messy spec.

Another problem is that you have to make sure that the workarounds
don't open holes that spammers can use.
