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.
