Really silly question

[Jan]

Hi, Doug,

I was just wondering why it is that the system converts all of the capital letters in thread headings from the various newsgroups into small letters? For me, at least, it's harder to read that way.

Thanks for the site!

That's actually a very good question. I investigated the problem and found a bug in my NNTP reader code. I fixed the problem and the case of future message subject lines should now be preserved.

It looks like the problem goes back about 6 months. I'll go in and fix the case of the affected subject lines when I have some free time.

Thanks for reporting this problem.
