Re: sucking news out of the usenet

Andy, I've recently written an newsgroup (NNTP) gateway between FUDforum and newsgroup, which allows read/write data sharing between the two. The solution for tracking down the reply to is done via 2 headers X-Reply-To or In-Reply-To or most commonly References headers. There are a number of mail clients that break the convention and send no such data, in which case you need to do match replies based on subject. The latter occurs only very rarely and in most cases you have a header with a unique ID against which you can match messages. -- Ilia Alshanetsky Ilia@prohost.org http://fud.prohost.org/forum/ On August 8, 2002 04:10 pm, andy wrote: > Hi guys, > > I am trying to build a usenet gateway which is collecting usenet posts and > puts them into a phpbb forum.
