Houghi from the SuSE (English) newsgroup automatically recompiles slrn and
changes user-agent to some random, amusing strings. I once wondered why so
many mail and news clients do not permit the user to forge headers. Where
are the fine controls that KDE promises? Are they trying to gain presence
and acceptance? Browsers likewise with the exception that is plugins (I
suspect that Opera gives this functionality at the core).

Best wishes,

Roy
