I have seen these lines, but so far they've all been inside the
article header. Is is possible that they're getting munged into the
article body between CMU and lsuc? If they're inside the header rn can
suppress them; in my case I see them because I have "+hunknown" set.
They look like mail->news gateway stuff and in my opinion should be
suppressed by CMU's equivalent of recnews, as they have no external 
relevance to the net.

I accept the small blessing that it is a legal message-id, unlike
some sites that seem to be unable to generate one.
