Subject: \ in NNTP usernames

From: Matt Davis <[email-masked]>

Is there anyway to allow '\'s in an NNTP username?  I tried, but pine
strips out the \ and instead of blah\blah, i get blahblah.

Is this a feature of a bug?

BTW, changing the username isnt really an option..  Wish it was.

Try blah\\blah.  If that doesn't work, I'd try various flavors of 'single'
and "double" quotes.

Great!  I thought I tried \\ without the quotes, but obviousally i
didn't.  And that worked..  If i used quotes, it just appended the quotes
to the username.

Thanks!

If you reply using a role, it will be shown.  I presume it also gets shown
by default if you allow-changing-from.

For a more general solution, try adding it to the Customized-Headers
section of Main, Setup, Config.  This works for other headers, but I'm not
sure if it does for From unless allow-changing-from is set.

Hello, William!

>is there a way to have it switched on as default instead of having to

set 'default-composer-hdrs' to 'all-except'
