I am still struggling to get UK sendmail (UK-2.1) to run ...

I have been sent a simple config (thanks Dave) which I have slightly modified.
One bit which confuses me is that JANETNAME appaers to appear and
disappear for little good reason. E.g. below are two configs and the
resultant .mc's, along with the diffs of them.  Any one any idea why
joining two lines (which are, I think, only comments anyway) has this effect ?
