  • CHRS: UTF-8 4

    From Carlos Navarro@2:341/234.99 to All on Wed Jan 17 18:38:29 2024
    My patch for making JamNNTPd use "CHRS: UTF-8 4"

    Edit nntpserv.c and replace this:

    sprintf(line,"CHRS: %s 2",chrs);

    by this:

    if(stricmp(chrs,"UTF-8")!=0) sprintf(line,"CHRS: %s 2",chrs);
    else strcpy(line,"CHRS: UTF-8 4");

    My patch for making JamNNTPd use "CHRS: UTF-8 4"

    Why?

    After all those years, since that EXTRA "4" was suggested, there's still not a single editor known to man (or at least me) that actually uses it, or breaks by improper use of it. Has one such editor eventually surfaced?

    This old and decrepid (almost completely abandoned) software is currently kind of being worked on and updated. Can you say anything positive about that, instead?
