Summary: Badly mangled headers

> I noticed today that there were postings that I had read before - and
> that the From lines and message-ids were mangled (domains removed).
We've gotten a bunch also.  We also see mangled Subject: lines, plus
References: lines with a structurally correct but COMPLETELY different
reference list.  Parent article illustrates header with domain missing;
here's some other oddities.  Excerpts from original header:
	From woods@hao.UUCP (Greg Woods) Tue Jul  8 19:30:55 1986
	Subject: Re: 1 more time: net.rec.drugs
	References: <194@NCSUVM> <400@ms3.UUCP> <1190@tektools.UUCP> <520@ukecc.UUCP> <973@oliveb.UUCP>

Here are the corresponding lines from the recycled article:
	From woods@hao Tue Jul  8 18:30:00 1986
	Subject: Re: 1 more time: net.rec.drugs  A defini
	References: <1305@watmath>

Altogether, the recycled article had the following fields corrupted:
	From  From:  Subject:  References:  Message-ID:
and the following deleted entirely:

That was in the path of our problem articles also.

> Sigh.  Say, anyone mind if I visit hplabs with a degausser?
I'd hate to throw stones without being sure that they are the culprits.  If
you know for sure, what are you waiting for?  Is somebody running completely
untested software, or is this a feature?  Sheeesh--there were only 12 lines
in the article header to start with and 8 of them got mangled?!?!
