It's an rn problem.  In fact, it's bug #1, seen in this newsgroup.  And the
patch is fairly trivial--just change 2 lines in intrp.c from ARTID_LINE
to MESSID_LINE.

Pretty please and thank you with sugar on top patch your software.  If you
haven't got the rn patches (currently numbering 19), I will be GLAD to send
them to you.  If enough of you don't have them, I'll repost them.

At least do patch 1, because it is breaking other people's software.  PLEASE!
