[net.news] Path truncation

bill@green.UUCP (10/02/84)

We don't receive every group and I can't find 345@pucc-k.  I did find 
339@pucc-k which appears to have been truncated.  Headers follow...

In both messages with truncated fields,  I noticed that the From: field
was apparently recalculated from the Path:.  I would guess that the !i
at the end of this path might be ihnp4.  I am vaguely familiar with
the innards of "news", but wasn't aware that this field was changed at
each site.

	Hope this helps track down the culprit.
