(...) That would work decently. You would want to insert those between paragraphs (as best as you could). Of course they could also become invisible to FTX users when a NNTP user quotes the message (as I have carefully done with this message).

  Re: Announcing FTX for discussion groups
 
(...) What if lines beginning with "#" in FTX denoted comments, and the URLs of referenced resources were summarized in a comment block? In other words, if someone said [LEGOSet 6954_1] and [LDrawPart 3004:4] it would append something like this: # (...) (21 years ago, 29-May-03, to lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.publish)
 
  Re: Announcing FTX for discussion groups
 
(...) Yes, but the problem is that not all FTX extensions work as well as others. For example the set and part database items, polls, etc. will not display properly on a plaintext system.

  Re: Announcing FTX for discussion groups
 
(...) Mmm, any idea why sometimes my replies are pushed to the bottom when I want them at the top? Still, a (URL) idea. -JHK (21 years ago, 29-May-03, to lugnet.publish, FTX)
 
  Re: Announcing FTX for discussion groups
 
(...) You mean in the web posting interface? Plain text already is the default. Or at least the default default. The default reply type for a plain text message is plain text, and the default reply type for an FTX message is FTX. But the default (...) (21 years ago, 29-May-03, to lugnet.publish)
