Some site along the following path is truncating Message-ID lines and injecting the resulting (different) news articles back into the network.

In article <21307@mimsy.umd.edu> chris@mimsy.umd.edu (Chris Torek) writes about an article with a truncated header. Both versions of the article arrived at hplabsz. The differences were: 1c1 < Path: hplabsz!hplabs!hp-sdd!ncr-sd!ncrcae!hubcap!emory!samsung!uunet!virtech!cpcahil --- > Path: hplabsz!hplabs!hp-ses!hpcuhb!hpsmtc1!hpda!motcsd!apple!usc!samsung!uunet!virtech!cpcahil 3c3 < Newsgroups: comp.unix.questions,comp.unix.wizards --- > Newsgroups: comp.unix.wizards 5,9c5,7 < Keywords: ksh security < Message-ID: <1989Dec7.194028.5875@virtech.uucp> < Date: 7 Dec 89 19:40:28 GMT < References: <5516@hplabsb.HP.COM> < Organization: Virtual Technologies Inc. --- > Message-ID: <1989Dec7.194028.5875@virtech.uu> > Date: 7 Dec 89 19:40:00 GMT > References: <5516@hplabsb> 11d8 < Xref: hplabsz comp.unix.questions:16994 comp.unix.wizards:17993 Please note: 1) Differences in path were: Good path: hp-sdd!ncr-sd!ncrcae!hubcap!emory Bad path: hp-ses!hpcuhb!hpsmtc1!hpda!motcsd!apple!usc 2) Keywords, Organization lines stripped in truncated version. 3) Newgroups line appears to have been changed in truncated version. 4) The Date headers are different. 5) Reference line mangled in truncated version. I'm checking with the HP systems listed in the Path lines. The difference in the Date header seems a little odd to me.

It appears that the problem is at samsung, from the several articles I've looked at. They seem to be taking two characters out of the message id, at the end. Also, this is being done to UK headers before the domain name is reversed, thus the two characters end up subtracted at the end of whatever is between the @ and the first .
