Can anyone explain to me under what circumstances "authorplaceholder"
is inserted when dumping notes to news?  The code is in newsdump.c,
Rev1.7.

For the time being, I have done this:
    #ifdef notdef
	if (strcmp (note -> n_id.sys, note -> n_auth.asystem) == 0)
	    author = note -> n_auth.aname;			/* ok for him */
	else
	    author = "authorplaceholder";			/* not local */
    #else
	author = note -> n_auth.aname;
    #endif

Thanks in advance,
	/rich $alz
