Unscramble (ROT13) option rotates letters by 13 characters and numbers by 5
characters.
MORE INFORMATION
You can use the Unscramble (ROT13) option to unscramble words, letters,
or numbers. Generally, ROT13 is used to decode offensive text posted in
Usenet messages. To use this option, click Unscramble (ROT13) on the Edit
menu in Internet News.
For example, if the letters GRFG appear in a news message, using the
Unscramble (ROT13) option causes the letters to become TEST. From G,
counting up 13 letters yields the letter T, and so on.
NOTE: Internet News provides only the ability to decode a ROT13 message.
It does not provide the ability to post, forward, or reply in ROT13 format.
