    From deuce@VERT to CVS commit on Fri Oct 19 00:07:32 2012
    exec/load newsutil.js 1.22 1.23
    Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/exec/load
    In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv23451/load

    Modified Files:
    newsutil.js
    Log Message:
    Do not place "extra" headers in the main hdr object as this can cause
    conflict with SMB and other Synchronet-specific properties. Instead,
    add them to an extra_headers object.

    Fixes a weird an unlikely bug encountered in rec.radio.cb spam.

    decode_news_body() stopped decoding arcticles encoded as base64 or quoted-printable, likely in rev 1.23 when Deuce introduced the 'extra_headers' property. This should fix that.

    Added X-FTN-SEEN-BY and X-FTN-PATH to news headers output from write_news_header()
    at Nelgin's request. Hopefully everyone else wants this in their exported news headers
    too. No "folding" will take place and these can be rather long values, so that might be
    a problem.

    Work-around error reported by Jason (HDCBBS):
    !JavaScript /sbbs/exec/newslink.js line 936: Error: Error -110 adding RECIPIENTADDR field to message header

    This is likely because we're trying to auto-detect the network-address type
    and failing, so just force it to NET_INTERNET here.

    Convert LATIN-1 to ISO-8859-1 charset on export to NNTP

    From: Carlos Navarro (2:341/234.1)

    Messages that use CHRS: LATIN-1 are not displayed properly in newsreaders (Synchronet's NNTP server renders them with the default charset=IBM437).

    This fix may work: edit exec/load/newsutil.js, at line 77 insert

    case "LATIN-1 2":
    charset = "ISO-8859-1";
    break;

    Fix the regex in the parsing of the "References" header field

    We only want one Message-ID (we'll use the last, since that appears to be the message being replied to based on SLRN behavior). This fixes reply linkage
    when posing from newsreaders that put multiple message-IDs in the
    references header field. This is required for SBBSecho to do its magic
    creation of the FTN REPLY kludge during export.

    This is the fix that Accession was looking for, I think.

    Modified Files:
    exec/load/newsutil.js
    Log Message:
    Store original "references" header field as an RFC822HEADER in SMB

    If an original references header field was supplied with the message, include *that* in the header (since it should contain all the IDs of the replied-to message thread) rather than just the message's reply_id (a single message
    ID) when sending via NNTP. This maintains more NNTP post integrity when
    sending back out via NNTP.

    Not sure why we were storing received "references" in the hdr.references returned by parse_news_header(), we don't seem to be using it anywere. Maybe copied from 822header.js or mailproc_util.js? Seems like cruft, so remove it.

    Also, don't ever send an "In-Reply-To" heder field via NNTP (it's not valid /used for NNTP articles, per RFC 5536).

    Since it's technically a "local post", but the user/sysop wants their client- provided email address to appear in the header, use it, if provided (don't use a made-up BBS email address that may not be valid).
