If that article survives its travels throughout the network, I submit
that the 2.11 news software qualifies as `robust' in its handling of
long Path: headers.

(And if anyone's mailer manages to reply to that address successfully,
I will further submit that BOTH mailers should have their source
listings used as kindling for a Usenet-wide bonfire. :-)
