Well, I have managed to fix my earlier problem, but I'm not sure how ...
With the from_ followed immeditately by the from: line, but with the 
from: line prepended with a ">", Mush generated the most interesting
values for %n.  Sometimes it was the address as it appeared on the from:
line, and other times is was the tail of the address on the from_ line
(which was derived from "Path:".  How did it know where in the bang-path
to start looking?  The bang-paths I was getting were roughly equivalent
to the Internet domain addresses, that is, somehow, Mush was truncating
the bang-path.

Now, I have it set up so that the From_ header is given (again, in rn
notation) by "From %T %`date`".  I am leaving the "Article %a of %C" 
line intact, and also the path and from: headers (with no ">").  This 
setup appears to work.  

If anyone has any explainations for some of this behavior, or knows
of a problem with my current setup, I would appreciate hearing from you.

Cheers,
