One of our local users cross-posted an article to comp.sys.mac.apps and comp.sys.ibm.pc.digest. The latter is a moderated group and is marked so here. I don't know why, but the article wound up posted without an Approved line -- and bounced all over creation. The moderator got > 45K of such. He wrote my user who forwarded to me... The article is *not* locally posted here -- except in the digest. It is not in comp.sys.mac.apps either. Headers are: To: cornell!rutgers!comp-sys-ibm-pc-digest Path: biar!cornell!rochester!kodak!uupsi!rpi!zaphod.mps.ohio-state.edu\ !sdd.hp.com!elroy.jpl.nasa.gov!grian!alex From: alex@grian.cps.altadena.ca.us (Alex Pournelle) Newsgroups: comp.sys.mac.apps,comp.sys.ibm.pc.digest Subject: Mac mail systems & file transport Message-ID: <1990Jul25.034342.2996@grian.cps.altadena.ca.us> Date: 25 Jul 90 03:43:42 GMT Organization: Workman & Associates Lines: 42 Software here is cnews 10-Jan-1990 and nn 6.4.9.

I mucked through some old history files and found that the article cross-posted to comp.sys.ibm.pc.digest and comp.sys.mac.apps *did* get posted locally to comp.sys.mac.apps... As far as I can tell, comp.sys.ibm.pc.digest was marked moderated at the time -- it was a few days before and a few days after the posting date. The article was also not posted locally to comp.sys.ibm.pc.digest. The line in the history file has no mention of comp.sys.ibm.pc.digest: <1990Jul25.034342.2996@grian.cps.altadena.ca.us> 648877432~- comp.sys.mac.apps/830 (I wrapped it.) Unfortunately, the log files are gone. Now, the questions is: why did it go into comp.sys.mac.apps? Earlier today, I tried crossposting to two test groups -- one moderated and one not -- and the article was not posted; just mailed. -- - Liz Allen-Mitchell liz@grian.cps.altadena.ca.us ames!elroy!grian!liz "God is light; in him there is no darkness at all." -- 1 John 1:5b
