I watch over the newsgroup gateway and I can say that it would not
be affected. It uses the headers to do it’s magic, because I feel
that’s more reliable. The gateway existed back when the numbers
were still around and it could do so again, though it has been
rewritten since then.
I cannot speak for the other forums, of course.

I notice that some messages are still not being propagated properly
through the gateway. Is this still a function of the message
type? I think I remember something about HTML causing problems.
Correct. I explain the rules at:
For example, the first message of this thread was not propagated,
just the reply from Matz.
Here’s the relevant header from that message:
Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=“----
=_Part_6558_27473787.1188773304382”
