- how many people are using rnews from the command-line? I've got some news
- I'm pumping through rnews using `rnews d:/path/filename' and it's got headers
- like so (to prevent >80 column lines)

-
- rnews.exe seems to be stripping off the second line, which appears to be
- in nonconformance with rfc1036. I've tried both the ones that came with
- 1.64 and 1.65.
-
- I have been warned that continuation lines might be dropped frequently by
- non-waffle packages also. is it that common?
-
- does anyone have any ideas? you might want to mail me questions directly
- so I can post them right with the answers. you might not. who knows?
