I noticed today that there were postings that I had read before - and
that the From lines and message-ids were mangled (domains removed).
It seems that hpccc is the culprit this time. Here are some headers:

> I noticed today that there were postings that I had read before - and > that the From lines and message-ids were mangled (domains removed). We've gotten a bunch also. We also see mangled Subject: lines, plus References: lines with a structurally correct but COMPLETELY different reference list. Parent article illustrates header with domain missing; here's some other oddities.

Say, anyone mind if I visit hplabs with a degausser? I'd hate to throw stones without being sure that they are the culprits. If you know for sure, what are you waiting for? Is somebody running completely untested software, or is this a feature? Sheeesh--there were only 12 lines in the article header to start with and 8 of them got mangled?!?! -- Dick Dunn {hao,ucbvax,allegra}!nbires!rcd (303)444-5710 x3086 ...At last it's the real thing...or close enough to pretend.
