PASTEUR is running an RJE emulator, but I modified the DMTSML driver to pass the required info on the "listing banner" and it has no problem with that kind of things. But before we did that mod to the software on both sides, it was reading the RFC822 or Netdata headers. >A node that looks inside of files that are sent directly to users is >going to have trouble with other things.

The user must be able to change it because, even though there may be cases where the user has signed a paper with the provider of the computer account which actually makes it legal for the NAD to decide on this kind of stuff on behalf of the user, it may not always be the case. The user may be able to demand that his subscription be set to this or that option, for instance. If the node-level option cannot be overriden, and several users have different desiderata, you have a problem. And guess who the NAD is going to point his finger at? Eric
