[news.software.nntp] Problems with Pnews and Path: header

dennett@cygnus.Kodak.COM (Charlie Dennett) (02/23/90)

Sorry if this has been hashed over before.  I just set up my machine
cygnus as an nntp client.  Therefore, the only programs I have are rrn
and the nntp version of inews.  Things seem to work fine.  I have 
discovered one problem.  If I use Pnews to post an article, the Path:
header does not have the user name at the end.   If I post an article
by following up at the newsgroup selection level within rrn, then
the Path: header looks fine. (I posted this article using the latter
method.)

I found the code in inews.c that constructs the From and Path headers.
I'll experment with that.  I've already played around with various
#defines but have had no luck.

Any pointers will be appreciated.  If more info is required, feel free
to ask.  In cluded below is a copy of a test posting showing the symptoms.
