[net.news.b] Spurrious DEL bug fix?

heiby@cuae2.UUCP (Ron Heiby) (07/25/85)

When using "rn" to cancel a message, the Control article has an ASCII
DEL character at the end.  I suspect that it is inews that is putting
it on there, as I have seen it before rn got popular.  Is there a fix
for this that I missed, or is it so innocuous that I shouldn't bother?
Thanks.

This is usually because some piece of code is trying to unget EOF.
Most of these were fixed in news 2.10.2, but check out line 1031 of
visual.c, in getnextart().
