[CURRENT-20020321] Control message handling/output

[Bettina Fink]

Hi,

I finally reanimated one of my sand boxes and started playing
around with INN-2.4x for the first time.

Everything seems to work fine (after replacing perl 5.005_03
with something recent), but the control message handling/output
seems to be a bit ... strange:

Why does an ignored newgroup message (for an already existing group)
got mailed? That's quite irritating (and bothering), if nothing (status,
tagline etc.) has changed. And what's that "62" in the message body?
It's the number of "Lines:" as I saw when comparing that mail with other
mails, but what's the intention of that? And where's the control's body?

Choose one:
