External complaints about the deprecated Lines: header

[Julien ÉLIE <julien@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Ray, the administrator of news.eternal-september.org, is currently having issues
with his users; they complain about the fact that a news server is no longer
required to generate a Lines: header.

Lots of news readers suddenly break...
Especially when they do not use the overview data for the :lines count but
only rely on the Lines: header.

Ray pointed me out to that thread in alt.free.newsservers:
   http://groups.google.fr/group/alt.free.newsservers/browse_frm/thread/438e64aa1e740f3e


Just following here the issue (in case someone wants to participate).
