That reminds me -- when I brought up C-News Performance Release under SCO
XENIX 386, all works find (and fast!) except that the message id fields
are hosed in the following manner:  as the article sits in
/usr/spool/news/in.coming, the Message-ID field read "MessageID" (no dash),
and relaynews then throws it away as bogus when it runs.

(I think I remember somebody running SVr4 having the same problem.)

I can't find the C-News module that generates that field, or, certainly, I
did not locate anything that I could see doing it *wrongly*.  Can anybody
shed any light?  Is is a bad sed or awk program?  Karma?  My old canoeing
injury?

Thanks,
