Ok, thats interesting. i might send out some more tests and watch how the
actual message looks outside the Newsreader, in the BBS.

I accidently messed up an smtp server setting in Thunderbird while testing
around with the newsgroups yesterday. Took me a while to add that SMTP again
and to find out that i have an application password for that Email provider
different from the providers website login =) LOL

still thinking about if i want to test slrn. Not sure if i want another TUI
interface for reading/posting messages.
