Default They finally found proof texting bans - does it make a difference

A little earlier, I wrote:

Why should everyone reading it have to copy and paste things back

little green screen linux system, FFS do NOT wrap a single word.


Here's an idea! If you would have *read* the sub-thread, you would
have read that the "moron"'s newsreader is behaving perfectly
well/compliant and that "everyone" is only those people with a *broken*
newsreader.

The URL was properly delimited (with '' and ''), so any folding is
irrelevant. Period.

But considering that the lines your newsreader emits are non-compliant
(too long), I can understand that it sucks to be one in the set
"everyone".


barf! I hadn't spotted this part, too funny:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-15; format=flowed; delsp=yes


Quite impressive, declaring 'format=flowed', but then failing to
actually do so!

What was that again about "some moron is using a newsreader"!?

But I take it all back, the "moron" isn't using a newsreader:

User-Agent: Opera Mail/1.0 (Win32)


QED.
