Subject: Does vn display double '.' at the beginning of a line?

 [Apologies for an earlier (now cancelled) version of this article which
  accidently named 'vnews' instead of 'vn'].

In article <1991Jun28.010404.310@mp.cs.niu.edu> which I posted to
comp.unix.wizards, my message contained the following line, where the '|'
marks the left margin.

	|.156.131.in-addr.arpa/

 A reader replied by email.  In his reply he quoted the line as:

	|..156.131.in-addr.arpa/

which, in this case, destroys the point of my article.

 This looks like the doubling of '.' at the beginning of the line by
nntp, which is supposed to be undoubled at the receiving site.

 My correspondent says he uses vn via nntp.

 Question:  Is vn broken?
