Note that the Posting-Version, References and Organisation fields are also gone. We had a similar problem when we changed to 2.10, as a couple of sites we talk to "Over Here" were running VERY old 2.9 versions, which didn't understand all the fields (like they threw the Path field away and used the From field, so we got ALL the news back!). They also stripped the above fields out. Does that help? Jim McKie ....decvax!mcvax!jim ...philabs!mcvax!jim
