=It's a combination of things inside inews.  An empty header line is, in
=general, a violation of RFC1036; it may or may not be legal mail, but it
=is not legal news.  So inews is filling it in for you.

So part of the problem is the Cnews' Pnews not filling in the "Sender:"
line and the other is the Cnews inews assuming we're ".uucp."  Now, as I
don't see other people with this problem, they must have modified Pnews
and inews???  Or did you fix it in a patch that I have yet to apply?
