Subject: Distribution: header line?

Hi everyone!

I noticed that PINE was not putting "Distribution:" headers in news articles.
Thinking this might be a problem, I noticed that _many_ people do not
use "Distribution:" headers.  Is this an obsolete header line or is
"world" the default when one is not otherwise specified?

Thanks!

Distribution: headers aren't obsolete, but they do rely on properly
configured (and well-placed) news-sites to enforce them. If one isn't
specified, "world" is the default.
