I can't speak for rn, but isn't it fairly standard for mailers (at least Internet ones) to stick in Received: lines in all messages that go through them? We've got a distributed network of workstations. To make it work in a reasonable fashion with usenet, articles from all workstations go through the bboards.andrew.cmu.edu machine.

'rn' isn't a mailer, it's a news front-end. In most of the Usenet world, news and mail are two totally separate entities. Here at the SEI, we're using 'rn' as our news reader, and NNTP as our news transmission agent. Except for generating E-Mail replies to articles, news never goes through mail at all. 'rn' just opens an NNTP connection to our news machine, and messages are read and posted through it. After you mail your articles (with Messages, CUI, or whatever you're using), they still have to be NNTP transmitted to the Usenet news server (probably PT.CS.CMU.EDU in your case), and if your NNTP transmission system doesn't strip out the header lines itself, then everyone will see them. --Pat.
