I wish Opera would force a legal signature delimeter ('-- \n'), and warn
agains wrongly formatted (80*4 characters) signatures, at least when
posting to nntp. (And when we're at it, I wish Opera had a perfect score
on GNKSA)

I don't. It's ok if Opera gives a warning when I do something stupid
like posting without a subject line, but it shouldn't make it
impossible to do such stupid things. IMO! GNKSA isn't a standard.
So I don't want a perfect score. But I'd really like Opera to comply
with *most* of the requirements.

Outlook Express has almost destroyed quite a few norwegian usenet-groups,
and is causeing harm on a general basis, because of all the standard-
violations and all the stupid things it let the users do and post. Can
you give me one good reason for posting without a subject line?
>IMO! GNKSA isn't a standard.
No, it is not a standard. If it was, I would have *demanded* Opera to
follow it ;-)
But GNKSA is a well-defined set of rules, and if all newsreaders followed
them there would be a lot less problems with postings on usenet.

I don't advocate Opera to destroy standards, like OE does with
localized versions. Translating 'Re' for example...

I think Opera should be configurable to disable most warnings, just
like the 'send insecure form' warning in the browser. The specific
example might not be the best one ;-)

LOL. Time for opera.demandlist ?

I notice Agent doesn't get a perfect score either. That's not to say
GNKSA-compliance wouldn't help make Opera a better newsreader, just
that apparently a decent newsreader can be made without complying.

In fact, in nl.newsreaders (which I left BTW) GNKSA is called I list
of features of the favourite newsreader of the composer of GNKSA. I
looked at their demands and wishes once and I /did/ found them to be
unusual and high-demanding and some even stupid! I don't like that
list of demands, I think every newsreader should have some
configurability and some things it shouldn't do (because of abuse of
newsservers, like excessive cross-posting). But GNKSA isn't the right
list for that. I have yet to see a complete and "correct" list, but
GNKSA certainly is not.

I don't think you should count on seing that in the nearest future,
the Opera wishlist is enough as it is:)
