# Usenet tools

This is a collection of tools around (managing) Netnews.

## canlockey

`canlockey.pl` will create a Cancel-Key for a given Message-ID with
optional user, canlock-secret and hash (defaulting to `SHA1`) or
check whether a given Cancel-Lock and Cancel-Key match.

## mew

`mew.pl` will encode or decode MIME encoded words (RFC 2047).

## suck-postfilter

`suck-postfilter` is a drop-in replacement for `/usr/lib/suck/put-news`,
part of the Debian `suck` package. `put-news` can't handle multi-line
headers like `Injection-Info:`.

Save to `/usr/lib/suck/` (or anywhere else) and add the new postfilter
to `/etc/suck/get-news.conf`:

    postfilter: /usr/lib/suck/suck-postfilter.pl
