   Sounds like specific groups may be read-only while other groups are   
   read-write.

   I'm not familiar with the X-Comment-To: header.   
      
   Though being a header starting with X- it's eXperimental.  That being   
   said, a number of things abuse eXperimental as production.

   Fair.   
      
   N.B. save for supporting HTML, which is not required anyway, news and   
   email are quite similar.  So if you write a client for one, you have   
   much of the client code for the other too.  If you ever care.

   Learning at it's simplest form.  You were unaware of something, you   
   became aware of it, and you became aware of how to overcome the issue.
