Just a thought: Todd, I don't know how LUGNET codewise is implemented, but I assume you have an user-database somewhere (to validate posting-priveleges and to store subscribed mailinglists etc.) At our company I implemented our Intranet, it's (...)

Just occurred to me earlier today - someone said it's too bad you can't view links like <set:8880> in the newsreader - then I thought, why can't we put a filter between incoming messages and the news DB to make it possible? basically move the (...)
