That's a newsreader function, nothing to do with the server.


Just what don't you ignorant Brits understand about
the word *client?* Duh!

FYI, the client attributes as far as it goes.

However, when a message reply arrives at a server
the server then must re-attribute it.

This is why Google Groups double-spaces everything.
Those idiots at Google who coded GG are too stupid
to do it right and thus the misattribued mess.
