Since when does a *server* alter the text in a NNTP post?


A lot of free ones add their spam.

If there's one
that does, then it's severely non-compliant; servers ain't supposed to
do that.

They may do other screwy things, but they don't alter the substantial
content of a message (body and headers). The one exception is Google
Groups, but as we all know, that's not a proper news server anyhow.


I'd never post anything with Google.
