It does.  You need to first understand Usenet message formats to understand
why "I tested it and it works" *does* mean "it's right".  The important
thing is that "it's right" does *not* mean "everybody can parse it".  And
that is the only problem.

Believe me, I know better what is trivial to fix and what not!  And your fix
it complete wrong, btw: It would make posting text together with images
impossible...
