In testing news2remail, I got it going, but it's managing to create
messages that do not have a 'Newsgroups:' line!

This results in all messages getting created, processed by mixmaster and
sent by smtp.  Because they don't have a 'Newsgroups:' line, they evaporate
when they hit the M2N.

It's the newsreader that creates the Newsgroups line, not news2remail,
it does nothing with those headers except pass on what the newsreader
sends.  What newsreader are you using?  Maybe one I don't know about
doesn't create a standard Newsgroups: header.  If that is the case then
you won't be able to use that newsreader with news2remail.

Which newsreader are you using?  I have a hunch - and a possible fix if I'm
right.

Sorry, my hunch was wrong.
I fired up Xnews and also experienced the behavior.  Odd, since Xnews works
fine with the cotse gateway version of news2remail.   I'll try to
investigate it more.

I can duplicate it too, but I'll be damned if I have any idea what is
happening.  Still digging, I'll figure it out.
