- Now here's an issue. Are all the parts to Waffle behaving the
- same with respect to ^Z?
-
- The post I had the problem with was from a mailing list,
- gated to a local newsgroup. The user probably wrote the message
- on an MSDOS machine with an editor which stuck on a ^Z. Since his
- message was only one within a digest, I missed half the digest.
-
- If it *were* a news posting, I believe RNEWS would have stopped
- processing, and the rest of the batch would have been lost. Is that
- an issue? RNEWS should not be losing news just because of an
- accidental ^Z.
