This makes sense... somewhere in the RFC977bis draft it says that the
maximum length of a line going over the NNTP protocol is 512 bytes. The
client picked the wrong way to handle this though. They should have split
the line (having it extend over multiple lines) or removed the first item
from the References header. Have you considered filing a bug report with
them?

| Hmm... I just noticed something alarming in the 'References' header in Tom McDonald's recent post <lugnet.admin.general:823>. The last message ID is truncated after the first 3 characters...(not Tom's fault)... ---...--- References: (...) (26 years ago, 15-Jan-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
