What I am trying to establish is what actually is the right thing, since I 
don't know.

I have a problem uploading news objects using FTP and it may have 
something to do with newlines. Other object types upload fine.

Some people have said that newlines have to be in Unix rather than DOS 
format, but I'm not sure if that is the case. AFAICT, it is only me who 
has this problem so I'm trying to establish exactly what Zope (or Plone) 
expect. What happens currently is that news objects are truncated at the 
blank line seperating the header from the body text of the file.

It seems like a Plone issue, but I get a bunch of abuse when I ask on that 
list.
