Mike,
	I think that this is a problem with the notes gateway when it
sucks in the readnews format messages...it should be able to recognize
not only 'Re: <subject>' but also 'RE: <subject>' and 're: <subject>'
so that any referential posting would be correctly assumed to be a
response to a previously posted base note.

	Failing this, the notes program should be intelligent enough
to take ONE of the "orphaned responses" and make it a 'pseudo-base-note'
and have all the other related messages tacked onto it as responses...

	It ain't the fault of the posters, though!
