The transmission of a response does NOT include a title. >If it did, the problem would never have appeared in the first place. Yes, transmission of a response from a notes system to anther notes system does not include a title. That is not the problem here! The problem is that when a response goes out into the NEWS world, it has a title "Re: Original Subject - (nf)". When it goes into another NOTES system, newsinput (the news/notes gateway program) says to itself, "Aha! This news article is a NOTES response. I don't have a base note for it and will create an empty one. Since this is an orphaned response, I will title the new empty base note "Orphaned Response" and THROW AWAY THE PERFECTLY GOOD TITLE I ALREADY HAVE" This is very easy to fix. I can send diff listings to any system administrators who request them. -- Berry Kercheval Zehntel Inc. (ihnp4!zehntel!zinfandel!berry) (415)932-6900
