I have a question: does the program which posts bug reports mailed to
bug-gdb@prep and the other GNU mailing lists strip the "From:" line
from the mail message before posting?  If it doesn't, then that article
will never be propagated to any machine that the mail message went
through on its way to prep!

The reason I ask is because I mailed some bug reports to bug-gdb
last week and have never seen them appear in gnu.gdb.bug, but today
I got mail that implied that someone else had seen them.

This is not true.  Perhaps you are confusing the way USENET netnews works
with the way mailing lists works.
