For those that are interested, here is how well MD2 does against the GNKSA newsreader requirements: http://www.newsreaders.com/gnksa/Evaluations/microdot-ii-1.4.4.txt 85% of "musts" have been satisfied; that's unfortunately only as good as the older version of MS Outlook Express. There are only a few failures, which hopefully should be easily rectified. I've reproduced the failures below. 1d & 1e I wasn't sure about, as it is possible to do this but maybe not in a clear way - so that's why these are failures. 11c basically says that the newsreader shouldn't allow the user to post anything without putting their own subject in. The rest should be self-explanatory. Comments? Regarding the strict GNKSA requirements (MUSTs), Microdot-II 1.4.4 FAILS on the following points: 1d Fails to show where to followup to (Followup-To) 1e Does not show where to reply to (Reply-To) 7c Does not restrict references sensibly 11c Uses some default subject when the user did not set one 12b Fails to refuse to post messages with syntactically incorrect From: 16a Does not warn when posting an empty article Microdot-II 1.4.4 violates `soft' GNKSA requirements (SHOULDs) in the following way: 3b Does not warn when posting to a large number of groups 3c Fails to encourage setting a Followup-To on large crossposts 9d Mail message not preceded by notification when posted and mailed 10d Does not omit (proper) signatures from quoted text 10e Does not let the user indicate which part to followup to 13a Does not let users cancel their own articles 13b Does not enable users to supersede their own articles 14b Fails to warn for excessively long lines 14e Fails to check basic hygiene of output from external editor 15b Does not warn on, or refuse, excessive signatures 16b Does not refuse posting an empty article 16d Does not refuse to post quoted text only 18 Does not let the user suppress unwanted messages automatically __________________________________________________________________ MicroDot-II Mailing List - http://www.vapor.com/md2/ MicroDot-II FAQ: http://faq.vapor.com/md2/ Listserver Help: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=HELP Unsubscribe....: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=UNSUBSCRIBE
