IMHO, not fixing such a trivial bug for so extremely long is nothing

This bug, in connection with another bug that has since been fixed,
actually allowed any properly formatted Usenet message to crash OE when
you clicked on it. It's therefore not as harmless as it might seem at
first glance.

Ok, ic, but still what is the purpose of exploiting some bug in software
on purpose? What useful purpose does it serve?

This post is without the "begin" bug
I will tell what useful purpose the inclusion of that bug-trigger has.
It keeps OE users from viewing my posts. I think that OE users are actually
all way too stupid to correctly use a computer, and therefor have nothing
to say which could interest me in any way

So there. Live with it.
