(xrn 6.7, pmax)
I posted an article, got reconnected to the server after a timeout,
and then was told:
XRN: serious error, your NNTP server does not have XHDR support.
Either you are running a pre-1.5 NNTP server or XHDR has
not been defined in 'nntp/common/conf.h'
XRN requires XHDR support to run.
After this, I got errors on most everything I tried to do: "Subject
next" told me the article was cancelled or the news partition filled;
"Save" told me it couldn't open an article temporary file.
Restarting the program appears to have fixed the problems....
This sounds like a fluke, since our NNTP server *does* have XHDR
support. Perhaps the first response after the reconnect was garbled,
and xrn got confused.
In any case, restarting the program was certainly the right thing to
do. I don't think this is going to get fixed, because it's too
difficult to figure out exactly what's wrong....
