Hm...

Peck's Power Post.

Gee, that sounds like a binary poster.  Imagine how much I care.  :)

Seriously, though, INN will start accepting space in the Newsgroups header
since it will be a requirement when USEFOR makes it to an RFC (and it's a
pretty obvious thing for any revision of the standards to fix).  It's
something I was planning on doing at some point after we got new header
parsing code to play with.
