This broken thread garbage has got to stop. Example: (2 URLs) countless other examples in the .loc.au group.) The question is, how do I detect this broken mailer that Ben's using? It reports itself as: X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2448.0) (...) (24 years ago, 10-Oct-00, to lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) I haven't figured it out yet exactly. I think it's going to be a set time per level. However, I'm not sure what will happen when the time runs out. It might just be for a bonus. (24 years ago, 7-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
