Observe the following header of an article posted by godot!ima!johnl:

>Relay-Version: version B 2.10.2 9/17/84; site godot.UUCP
>Path: godot!johnl

Somehow, the "From" and "Path" headers are losing the ima.  Site ima
runs notes internally, but they hand us the messages via rnews.  This
bug occurs on all articles from ima.  I had not noticed this problem
before switching to 2.10.2 a month or two ago, so I suspect it is a
2.10.2 problem.  Have other 2.10.2 sites had problems receiving news
from notes sites?

This problem was caused by a faulty notes<->news interface at site ima.
ima!johnl fixed the code there and is now generating correct Path and
From headers.  2.10.2 is vindicated.
