0d20f9a0
JB
29;; brought posting code almost up to the revision of RFC 850 for News 2.11
30;; - couldn't see handling the special meaning of the Keyword: poster
31;; - not worth the code space to support the old A news Title: (which
32;; Subject: replaced) and Article-I.D.: (which Message-ID: replaced)
33;; tower@prep Nov 86
34;; changed C-c C-r key-binding due to rename of news-caesar-buffer-body
35;; tower@prep 21 Nov 86
36;; added (require 'rnews) tower@prep 22 Apr 87
37;; restricted call of news-show-all-headers in news-post-news & news-reply
38;; tower@prep 28 Apr 87
39;; commented out Posting-Front-End to save USENET bytes tower@prep Jul 31 87
40;; commented out -n and -t args in news-inews tower@prep 15 Oct 87
