Hi Jerry,
Thanks for the update.
Point of clarification: This is only for the web view, yes? And specifically,
only the field called "Author"?
I see that the "From" and "X-Real-Life-Name" headers of the raw NNTP message,
e.g.
http://news.lugnet.com/news/raw.cgi?lugnet.admin.general,14097
are still visible to non-signed-in members.
Rather than filtering out those headers to non-signed-in users, it might be best
instead simply to return an empty page from raw.cgi in such cases and to remove
the "View Raw Message" link that links to raw.cgi. Obviously this doesn't stop
crawlers from crawling the NNTP server, but it's not often that one sees indexed
NNTP content anyway.
By the way... At the moment, the Author field still seems to be showing
implicitly in the Compact list view, e.g.:
http://news.lugnet.com/?q=stein&v=c
