Nope, doesn't help. "Subject: cmsg" isn't interpreted only by the server
to which the message is posted, but at every single news server that
receives the article down the line, so the mail to news gateway has to
proactively deal with this issue or risk odd things happening in various
parts of the net.
The only time when it can be solved at the gateway is if the mail is
gatewayed into a group that lives only on one server (which I admit is
quite common, but definitely not universal).
