Subject: Change: Modify headers for test posts.
X-Git-Tag: v0.9~4
X-Git-Url: https://code.th-h.de/?p=usenet%2Fyapfaq.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=b146f21475f4295fcdb430e27f4b567dda8a43e4;ds=sidebyside

Change: Modify headers for test posts.

- Change MID so you can do multiple tests.
- Replace Supersedes with X-Supersedes so you do not delete
  postings while testing.
- Add remark ("This is a test message.").
- Change documentation accordingly.

Fixes #6.
