That does not mean that we have to remain in the stone age in order to
use it. In fact, it had been decided by the IETF long ago that that
should not be so; therefore, by 2009, new standards for Network News
had been developed, agreed upon, and already implemented by server and
user agent developers to facilitate that. You are simply out of
touch, and if the cause of the incompatibility is your newsreader (it
*is*), it is not simply out of date and obsolete, but *non-compliant*,
i.e. *broken*.
These 'improvements' are fundamentally flawed, so they were not
generally adopted.
Even now, after all those years, you can still see the occasional
mangled header.
(It is well-known in today's Usenet that MacSOUP is broken as it was
never updated after 2016, and was buggy even back then.)
MacSoup was never broken. Its author could not afford the time that
would be required to rewrite it for later versions of Mac OSX.
