I'm using News::Article::NoCeM from CPAN to generate NoCeM messages and
it puts each additional newsgroup on a separate line starting with a TAB
and ending with CRLF, which led to people (wrongly) complaining about the
structure of my messages. Currently, I'm testing a patch for
News::Article::NoCeM that will put all newsgroups on the same line as the
M-ID with a TAB between the M-ID and the first article and a blank
between the individual group names.

My filter makes use of the is_binary () function in Cleanfeed, which in
turn relies on some configuration variables. The problem in the case of
the linux.kernel.git messages is that some of them have a Content-Type
of multipart/mixed with the PGP signature included as a Base64 encoded
attachment.

Groups with "binaries" in the group name should already be excluded from
the binary filter, will double-check this.

Thanks for your feedback. It is much appreciated.
