How about just copying the "X-Ref:" header char for char?

The more I think about it, the more I think that this is exactly what I'm
oging to do.  The "Reference:" header would be a fully-formed URL, while the
"X-Ref:" header would tell the parser that it needs to be resolved into a
LUGNET article URL.

But don't copy the name 'X-Ref' if you copy the data -- that would be wicked
confusing because what you want is a reference to a prior article, and the
'X-Ref' header of NNTP articles *isn't* a reference to a prior article but
rather an ID of an article.

(...) I don't understand the difference -- is it just how the text is formatted, or does that number do some magic? Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 10-May-99, to lugnet.faq)
