We recently installed news 2.11 and now have a problem with recnews.
Unlike the 2.10 version, recnews now precedes each double-quote mark
with a '\' in the inews command that it constructs.  But when a
message arrives with a "From:" line such as:

    From: "J. Random User" <user@polya.stanford.edu>

the resulting message gets posted with a "From:" line of

    From: \@labrea.Stanford.EDU

Has anyone else seen this problem?  The obvious thing to try is to
remove the code that inserts the '\' characters, but I'd like to
understand what the problem really is.
