  I have noticed that all the active articles posted from C News 
systems have a "Lines:" header (except for the first few I did :-<).  
Yet the source distribution has the pertinent code in relay/sh/inews 
commented out.  In fact, it appears that code (when uncommented)
calculates one line too many.  Has everybody quietly added the
Lines: header to C News?  (Even Henry's postings have Lines.)

  For what it's worth, here's how I mangled the commented code:

TLINES="`
if test -r $HOME/.signature; then
	(cat $inbody; echo '-- '; sed 4q $HOME/.signature) | wc -l
else
	wc -l <$inbody
fi
`"
echo "Lines: `expr $TLINES - 1`"
