  Web News Interface Posting Beta Test

Hello,

The web news interface posting is now available for registered users of
povray.org (see <http://www.povray.org/community/login/>) that have at least
specified either a pseudonym or a public email address (which will appear in
the "From:" line of the post).  Note that there will always be a slight
delay between posting via the web interface and the post appearing on the
news server.

Right now posting of attachments is not supported by design.  It may be made
available later if the plain message posting does not cause any problems.
Further, canceling messages is not yet supported via the web interface.  We
plan to make that facility available in the future as our time permits.
Another limitation is that the web view does not support cross-posting at
this time.

As far as the supported character set is concerned, the form should only
allow ISO-8859-1 characters in the text input fields but I do not know if
all browsers really enforce this.  In any case, while ISO-8859-1 characters
are supported, it is still strongly recommended to only use the common
subset all people will be able to view - that implies ASCII characters -
just like when using a regular news reader!

    Thorsten
