    From rswindell@1:103/705 to CVS commit on Sun Sep 15 15:58:43 2019
    exec newslink.js 1.110 1.111
    Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/exec
    In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv19486

    Modified Files:
    newslink.js
    Log Message:
    Added an optional newslink.cfg configuration setting: reader_mode
    if present in the cfg file, newslink will send an RFC 2980/3977 compliant
    "MODE READER" command before authenticating with the news server. Some news servers require this command be sent by the client before supporting so-called "reader commands", like "GROUP". See https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/1999-October/002396.html
    for an example.

    Thanks, EC.

    Log Message:
    Added support for new configuration keyword: auto_areas
    When present, all sub-boards flagged as Internet/NNTP networked will automatically be included as a newslink'd area (no "area" line needed).
    If the sysop wants to override the configured/default newsgroup name,
    the flags or the attachment directory for a specific sub-board/area, they
    can still use the "area" keyword to specify those values for a sub-board.
    Fixed the long standing UNRECOGNIZED KEYWORD: null error upon a blank
    line. Apparently truncsp(null) will return "null".

    Twitlist optimization (don't re-read over and over)
    Also added debug-level log messages for message loop rejection
    reasons, for John Dovey (GATOFUEG).

    BTW, thank you for this. I completely reinstalled my Ubuntu box, and redid the SBBS from scratch and somewhere in that process my problem was fixed. No idea what it was now though <shrug>

    ... Bend the facts to fit the conclusion. It's easier that way.

    Add support for optiona "approved" option to be specify moderator's email addrApparently required by some news servers.As requested via IRC:<poindexter> Hi all, I've got a weird request. I'd like to post to a newsgroup that relies on automoderation. You need to add an approved: header to any posting to have it be accepted - keeps the non-techie riffraff away. is there a way to do that with newslink.js?

    Should probably make this a command-line option too, but this will do for
    now for Ragnarok to test eternal-september with.
