Posted Message Headers

Previous  Top  Next

Each message posted to newsgroups contains standard headers, revealing which groups the message should be posted to, its subject, the date & time, etc.

In addition you can add extra headers - for instance to enable you to identify particular messages, etc. Most people do not need to use the extra headers feature.

Identity

Select which Identity you want to use when posting.

No Archive

Selecting this indicates that you'd rather the messages you post weren't archived. Some newsgroup archiving companies - Google for instance - respect this header, and remove any message containing it after a few days.

Generate Date Headers

Select this if you want XanaNews to generate its own date headers when it posts messages. Otherwise the date header will automatically be generated by the account's server. Its best to leave this unchecked unless the server's clock is way out.

Generate 'Approved' headers when cancelling messages

Select this if you want XanaNews to generate 'Approved' headers when generating Cancel requests. Many servers will not accept cancel messages unless they have an 'Approved' header - so its usually best to leave it turned on.

Generate Message IDs

XanaNews can generate message Ids in a number of formats. However it's usually best if the server generates its own - so leave this option turned off.

Extra Headers

Enter any extra headers that you would like to be sent with your messages.
