That is what we had surmised here as well.

The three articles that were noted as being trashed:

	<3720@sugalo6hackercorp.com>		rec.arts.sf-lostem,news.misc
	<1989Apr18.063300.2852@tmszfI.uucp>	tor.news
	<1128@jato.Jpl.clrsa.Gov>		rec.aviation

all were transferred through attcan on April 18. I haven't heard of any other
articles being munged on any other day.

If anyone notices any other affected articles, please let me know via e-mail or
telephone at your earliest convenience so that we can further isolate this
glitch.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
	Bob
