The thing is, however, that UUE includes the file permission field, and
even Windows apps will need to put /something/ there. My question would
be what gravity puts there, and where it gets it (some config option, a
default, asks each time, looks to see if it's an exe and adds exe perms,
what?).
But you're right about faked headers, except Giga is going to have it
nailed to a specific account in any case. But they're the only one who
will and without that info the user could frame someone else posting from
giga.
