Re: what to do if a checksum on a news article is bad

If you only have one source for news, there is nothing you can do.  If you
have multiple sources, you can reject the article in the hope that someone
will offer you a good one.  Or, what I would prefer would be to keep the
article along with some indication that it is probably bad and should be
replaced with a good copy if it comes along.

It's 1989.  Does your software support the ISO 8859 character sets?
