There's probably a reason, but I can't imagine what it would be?

Here's the changes from 06.08.25 through ??.01.30, as you can see they're all
pretty small and shouldn't make a whole lot of difference:

o = bug fix
+ = addition
x = change

??.01.30:

+ Per req, you can now specify a port with SMTPHost using the usual host:port
notation.
o ??.01.14 miscounts multiparts.
x Minor cosmetic changes.

??.01.14:

Happy new year!

Some unpleasant person is sending spoof messages to binaries groups.
The msgs' headers look like binaries but they have single-line
or empty bodies. This is causing Xnews users grief, which I
take as a personal affront :O So here's a little quick fix.

6.12.01:

Hi all :)

When a yEnc(oded) article has a CRC error, the program gets stuck in a
loop where it keeps trying to decode the same file if you have alternate
server(s) defined. I tried an hour trying to fix this bug and gave up
(it's frightening, but I keep finding new depths of dumbosity within).
Instead, I decided to Deal With the Problem By Not Dealing With the
Problem(tm). So, if you've been plagued by this bug, add this to
Xnews.ini under [Misc]

IgnoreYEncCRCError=1

Voila!

Actually, this works out pretty well since most of the time, the file is
still usable with PAR2 and what not.

Happy holidays :)
