Bug#618902: knode: Disable automatic setting of Followup-To header for non-cross-posted articles
Package: knode
Version: 4:4.4.7-3
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
Forwarded: https://bugs.kde.org/178208
knode will automatically set a Followup-To header to every posting,
even when it is not crossposted to more than one group, violating
a "should not" in RFC 5536 3.2.6.
That bug is not just cosmetical; there are real world problems
when posting to mailinglists gated to newsgroups (gmane.* and
linux.*), especially when one user is posting to gmane.X (with
automated superfluous Followup-To set to gmane.X) and another
user is reading that message on linux.X and trying to reply.
There are numerous reports on the upstream bug tracker, with
the most applicable one at https://bugs.kde.org/178208
The bug seems to be fixed with commit 1079182 in upstream's
SVN at http://websvn.kde.org/?revision=1079182&view=revision
(dated 2010-01-23).
