Nahhh...  False alarm.  News software didn't break that.  The person --
much like yourself (no slur meant!) who edits out the ">" preceeding
included text to get around the line inclusion limits.

If you look at 2447@hall.cray.com, you'll see that the poster did the
same thing you did...  CHanged ">" to "|".  Unfortunately, it caught
the ">" in the Reference line also (the first one).  Proof???  Well,
check the "In article ....." line -- text not header -- in the same
message.  The sender did something like:
