The C News posting machinery is respecting the existing path and just adding the local name on the front. The fix is to fix the posting software. This just might be NNTP's fault if you are posting through it, but whatever you're using as reader/poster is more likely to be at fault. It's relatively harmless. -- And the bean-counter replied, | Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology "beans are more important". | henry@zoo.toronto.edu utzoo!henry
