  Is this a software error in creating the Date field, or is this message
really from a year ago?

  The rn man page answers your question; it's usually a good idea to check the
man page for a program before asking a question about that program on the
network.  From rn(1):

          /pattern/c
                  Make search case sensitive.  Ordinarily upper and lower
                  case are considered the same.

For example:

	/Subject:.*inix ST/hc:j

  This message would have been more appropriate in news.newusers.questions
than in either comp.unix.wizards or comp.os.minix.  It doesn't belong in the
former because it isn't a Unix question, and it doesn't belong in the latter
because it isn't a minix question.  It's a news question.

  Then again, if this article really is a year old, news.newusers questions
didn't exist, so this wasn't an option :-).
