From b146f21475f4295fcdb430e27f4b567dda8a43e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Hochstein Date: Sat, 15 May 2010 17:22:20 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Change: Modify headers for test posts. - Change MID so you can do multiple tests. - Replace Supersedes with X-Supersedes so you do not delete postings while testing. - Add remark ("This is a test message."). - Change documentation accordingly. Fixes #6.
