[misc.misc] Message loops

gary@neptune.ctc.contel.com (Gary Bisaga x4219) (05/31/91)

There appears to be a message loop somewhere in the system, probably
at the Fidonet gateway.  Sorry for posting this to this group, but
I couldn't send a direct message to Fidonet.  Does everybody else get
the sometimes-duplicated-message problems?  Below is duplicated the
message headers for *ONE* (of the many) duplicated articles I have
received recently.  Note how the From and Path lines are apparently
correct on the first article but the second one suspiciously mentions
FidoNet.  Also note how the first article has more header lines.
