It's a bug and a feature.  the - nf is the mechanism the notesfile
program uses to identify its offspring.  It's hoped that this will go
away if version 2.7 of netnews passes through unidentified headers AND
notesfiles place their information in these headers.  Notesfiles is an
alternative interface to network news based on the PLATO notes facility.

	(I hope this is of net.general interest)
