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.
