Re: Length of the local part of e-mails

Hi Harald,

> Reality check: How many newsgroups currently exist that have names longer than 64 characters?

Well, not many...
I believe only microsoft.* and novell.* are impacted.
And of course alt.* and free.*.

So maybe it is worthless worrying about that.  Though I still think
something should be said somewhere...  USEAGE for instance, at least
for people to know they should not create such newsgroups.  If they
become moderated, it would be a problem.

+ crap in alt.* and free.*
