Re: Newsreader for Android

To update this thread, it was my mistake (in my previous errant post)
that I didn't notice that the Google Translate from Italian to English
of the Narchive for this thread broke the URI (with a linefeed).

So there was nothing wrong with the URI.
The problem was the archive/translate broke the URI into two pieces.
And I made the mistake of not noticing that (which I should have).

Mea culpa.
I apologize.

Moving forward, based on a recent clarification from both Taf & Dave Royal
in the comp.mobile.android thread, this appears to be the proper M17 URI.

The summary, for anyone reading this long convoluted thread, appears to be:
 > From Dave Royal
 > Ignore everything before M16.

Where the description of M16 OC appears to be this, also from Dave Royal.
 > This [Mod16] solves the main problem with
 >  the PiaoHong newsreader - screwed-up quoting. Also the
 >  less-obvious design fault that it ignored replies if it didn't

 >  important IMO.

The description of how M17 differs from M16 by Dave Royal is this.
 > If you prefer the old behaviour whereby replies to missing
 >  replied-to posts are ignored - which can lead to multiple threads
 >  starting Re: and doesn't play well with filtering - then you can
 >  revert that in M17. Also if you want to use odd headers, like
 >  x-face. I haven't used M17.

I'm updating this thread so that Dave doesn't have to, given he said:
 > I will report on any future changes in the earlier thread I
 >  referred to in news.software.readers.

For reference for others, so they don't have to search for that thread as I
did, especially given newsreader retention sucks on the servers I use, is:
