[news.misc] Encryption key on Sun3 while using 'vn'?

On our system, we have the 'vn' command that was compiled for a Sun-3 environment.
While using vn, one of our users accidentally hit the <L3> key while reading
an article.  The message appeared as an 'encrypted' message.  Toggling the
<L3> key changed it back to a readable form.  Is this 'feature' documented
somewhere?  I was able to duplicate the behavior on my system and neither of
us has redefined the meaning of the <L3> key in suntools.  No big deal -- just
*curious*!!
