Incidentally... the left-half-of-a-msg-id results when a newsreader,
instead of simply adding a new Reference and it getting chopped off,
deliberately shortens the references: line (as it should..) to remain
well within the 512 char limit.

Guess what newsreader mentioned in the msg-id to the right of that
phenomenon exhibits _exactly_ that behavior by default..

Incidentally, does that msg-id having a hostname that isn't lugnet.com
mean anything? leafnode server? Reverse-DNS to something meaningful?

(...) Yeah.. I asked a few times about the related problem where the end of References: and the other headers after it show up after a \n. I suspect that CNews always inserts a \n after truncating a References: line to 511 (why not 512 beats me), (...) (25 years ago, 8-Jan-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
