It seems that CNews (an excellent program, IMHO) drops messages
that have white-space in their message-IDs.  Is this anti-social
behavior or have I mis-installed something crucial?  My view is 
that the program should be conservative in what it sends out, 
liberal in what it accepts.    Luckily, only one site so far 
has been generating this message-Ids.
