Sensible.

Why not associate the format with the user account? NNTP actually has
authentication built in. It's just not very common to use it. With some
accounts named "<format>reader", we can let people select the format they get
the FTX messages in. And people who want to post can just use their personal
(Lugnet) account and have their preferences set for that account.
