Hi Harald, > 4.

Nobody else commented. I also reckon a SHOULD is better for the message-ID. It would prevent duplicates from being posted in case the same proto-article is posted twice (therefore sent to the moderator with the same message-ID). Useful for both auto-moderation bots and manual moderation. And they are encouraged to retain the Date: header (no need for a SHOULD here). -- Julien ÉLIE « La différence entre un chanteur et une paire de chaussures est que le chanteur doit partir avant de lasser.
