We have found a new interface bug between notes and news, actually
the people at godot found the bug. Notes sends out articles in A news
format with no line count. When news 2.10.2 recieves this it 
inserts a line count of 0. Hence all notes are passed on with 
zero linecount. 

This means all articles passed from us to godot have propagated 
with a line count of 0. Since we feed out into two other machine
that currently run older versions of news, that actually count the
lines, it is problematical as to whether you will get a message
from us with a line count of zero. The problem has been fixed by
godot and I hope he will post the diffs to the net.

We will also look at making notes put out a line count. Please mail
me with any fixes you may have for this.
