This looks reasonable.  gdb shows "char *" pointers as a null-terminated
string.

This is the right group.

It takes work to anti-spam a group, especially when the group accepts
submissions from non-members.  And we are all volunteers, and the spam
filters are not perfect.

Then I think my question is: why do these groups accept submissions from
non-members? *Every* other mailing list I belong to is members-only, but
signing up is easy so that's not a problem. And spam is essentially
non-existent on all of these.

It seems clear to me that that is the answer.

But..., but why the dat field has so many extra characters? I know gdb
can show the terminating '\0' char for C, but ..., but why does it
show that many characters for this C++ string? Where do these extra
chars come from? For refereence to my first post, this string should
have only "<", without those trailling chars.

Wow, sorry. I did not realize my curiosity triggered this many
arguments on this issue. Thanks you guys for still keeping this group
alive. Otherwise, I don't know where I can post my questions. 8-)
