I'm seeing increasing numbers of articles with all this extraneous
header information, separated by blank lines. rn can't be made to
skip this stuff, and it's a pain to read at 1200 baud. Would the
people responsible (at CMU?) please look into changing their software
so this junk doesn't appear?

While you're at it, I might suggest the Message-ID line is rather silly.
What's wrong with a simple sequential number, instead of nine pieces of
information separated by periods?

Thank you.
