Maybe the bug should be reopened -- or the subject changed -- because the real issue is when I read:
# Incompatible changes from the 2.x nntplib:
# - all commands are encoded as UTF-8 data (using the "surrogateescape"
# error handler), except for raw message data (POST, IHAVE)
# - all responses are decoded as UTF-8 data (using the "surrogateescape"
# error handler), except for raw message data (ARTICLE, HEAD, BODY)
# UTF-8 is the character set for all NNTP commands and responses: they
# are automatically encoded (when sending) and decoded (and receiving)
# by this class.
That is not true.
What for XOVER/OVER answers? They contain raw message data. Why aren't they excluded?
And XHDR/HDR answers?
(As I see that HEAD is excluded, then so should OVER and HDR...)
And AUTHINFO, as I have just explained in the comments here.
