I am still unsure about what should be done.
I was about to remove the special case of IHAVE in nnrpd so that it were
handled like POST.  But what for the "I" rights we could give to users
via readers.conf?

If IHAVE had been intended to be used like POST, wouldn't have it been added
to "P"?

If the news administrator does not currently add "I", nobody will be able
to use IHAVE.  So maybe "I" is specifically to allow some users to *inject*
news the way innd does?  Are we sure IHAVE is not currently used in nnrpd
with that behaviour?
