The header and text of a message received here was as follows:
============

(6 lines) More? [ynq] 

I apologize for messing up the title of my last posting.  The above is what
I SHOULD have typed but missed.

============
The previous posting had the same header, and contained several sequences
of four or more consecutive question marks.  Two questions arise:

(1) Is there a new bug in some software between the originator and here,
that deletes subject lines with some particular characteristic?

(2) Did the text of the original message omit the second and subsequent
queries of a sequence ????????????? (The content certainly suggested
that a lot of questions were missed :-)
