Hmm, so what's up with this?  Check this out below........

(I wrapped the References line here at 78 characters for readability.)

Mike/Matt -- are you using different versions of slrn?  214 & 217 were posted
by Mike and 216 was posted by Matt.  The one Matt's using looks OK...the one
Mike's using is broken.

Puzzling -- Says "slrn (0.9.4.3 UNIX)" for both of you in the X-Newsreader
field.

Frump...

  Re: slrn broken?
 
(...) slrn has been complaining about the references line, showing it as having a blank line within it, and I didn't know why. The only way I could get it to post a followup sometimes was to just delete the blank line AND the partial line following. (...) (26 years ago, 10-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)
