Speaking of casing (following Charles' email), should we document
the practice in some newservers of disregarding the newsgroup
casings? I checked a deployed INN server v1.7.2 and found it
rejecting mixed casing.
But it is used in my neighborhood ISP's new server, and it
accepts, for eg., "GROUP reC.HumoR.FUNNY" as reference to
"rec.humor.funny". The server announces itself as "DNEWS".
Anyone knows what this server type is?
Cheers,
CK
