This is an imprecise statement. NNTP transmits news articles. News articles have various methods for encoding information and is "non-standard". The format of news articles is described in RFC 1036. This is not an NNTP issue, per se. I think work on revising RFC 1036 would be great, but that is not the in the scope of work of the NNTP working group. -- Stan | Academ Consulting Services |internet: sob@academ.com Olan | For more info on academ, see this |uucp: {mcsun|amdahl}!academ!sob Barber | URL- http://www.academ.com/academ |Opinions expressed are only mine.
