     Now here's an issue.  Are all the parts to Waffle behaving the
same with respect to ^Z?

     The post I had the problem with was from a mailing list,
gated to a local newsgroup.  The user probably wrote the message
on an MSDOS machine with an editor which stuck on a ^Z.  Since his
message was only one within a digest, I missed half the digest.

     If it *were* a news posting, I believe RNEWS would have stopped
processing, and the rest of the batch would have been lost.  Is that
an issue?  RNEWS should not be losing news just because of an
accidental ^Z.
