For example, in net.unix-wizards recently there was an article "Re: 4.2 lost mail" sent by (individual characters quoted so they won't get mixed up with the control characters): 'u' 'w' '-' 'b' 'e' 'a' 'v' 'e' 'r' '>' DEL DEL ^H This extra-long name also seems to cause replication of articles on the net, that aren't caught by nfrcv as duplicates.
