request for configuration option to skip removing date and message-id if declared in post

[rjolina]

First of all, I want to thank you for your work - there's probably no simpler tool for self-hosting usenet server.

I just have a small request - could you add a configuration option that would prevent wendzelnntpd from replacing the Date and Message-ID fields in the message header if they’re already present in the post?

(I'm working on a usenet frontend for a reddit-like service, and the lack of this option is breaking the threading structure in my implementation. The duplicated headers are causing inconsistencies in how posts are grouped)

Thanks for suggesting a new configuration option. Once I have some time again (or can assign this task to a student), we could implement that. It can take a couple of months/years/decades :) In the meantime, I would -- of course -- appreciate a patch.
