 word syntax

If only sometimes gnus was stricter, or even warned, when encountering
bad Subject lines, we users could have warned the power company years
earlier, rather than only learning about the problem one day when we
used Gmail instead.

So being over-forgiving has its pluses and minuses.

Gnus will continue to be liberal in what it receives.  Closing.
