News Title=I'm A Model Modern Freenet Personality (to the tune of I'm A Model Modern Major General) Newsgroup=news/rec/humor/filks From=Automated filk posting bot Author=Fred Foobar Signature=1341805713498073 Data <some song to the tune of I'm A Model Modern Major General> For news I would prefer using "From" instead of "Author" and "Subject" instead of "Title". However, we might use both, because in the example above From is not really equal to Author - just because someone posted something does not really mean that they wrote or created what the posted (the filk mentioned above, for example). > These all have the same format as a "normal" file: > > Normal > Author=Brandon > Content-type=image/gif > Title=picture of a monkey > Data > <a bunch of binary gibberish representing a gif file> > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Freenet-dev mailing list > Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net > http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev -- Travis Bemann Sendmail is still screwed up on my box.
