Folks at an ARPA site seem to be having problems with their system's news
software--in particular, its habit of munging news article headers.
If I understand aright, this may be an example of the problem:
whereas from my system I'd be able to mail a response to this article. . .

. . .the "Path" and "From" line have evidently been munged in the article
as stored at brl-tgr, so that folks there are forced to post replies
(see <1231@brl-tgr.ARPA>) rather than mailing replies to the original poster.

If anyone at other ARPA sites knows of workarounds for the problem,
posting them would be a public service.
