Oh, BTW, the use of the ‘Content-Type:’ header isn’t guaranteed to be supported
forever. The server now posts FTX messages using a different header, because
‘Content-Type: text/x-ftx’ was causing problems for MSOE users (and some other
newsreaders).

Only trouble is, it didn’t recognize my signature file. Signature files
should be treated as literal text when submitted using a newsreader;

I don’t know about that. You marked the content type, which applies to the
entire message body. I’m not sure I want want to go out of my way to support
posting in FTX from an NNTP newsreader either, if doing so means making kludges
like that. :)
| |
otherwise I’d have to have a separate .signature just for FTX posts.
|
When I implement sigs in the web interface, it’ll have the option to create
separate text & FTX sigs.
| |
I notice in the “Preview” that it trimmed the signature.
|
Are you sure that it happened when you clicked the “Preview” button? Sigs are
supposed to be removed when you click the “Reply” button, not at Preview time.
| |
I don’t think it should do that autmoatically, but instead should use the
same “fix it for me” approach that is triggered by my top-quoting in this
case. (Though I think that top-quoting is appropriate in this context...)
|
You have to admit, it’s an extremely rare occurrence when you would want to
quote someone’s sig. You can always cut & paste it in manually. 99.9% of the
time the sig should be snipped, no questions asked, IMHO.
