I was going to drop even the "authorplaceholder" or "seefromline" but i noticed that the news code (2.10.2) ignores the stuff to the right of the last ! as being a user name. I now produce headers like: Path: ....!authorsite!user From: user@authorsite if i can be sure that the article has been at that site. if not, i still produce the "seefromline" sort of path. -- Ray Essick, University of Illinois -- essick@a.cs.uiuc.edu, uiucdcs!essick
