    These are the changes I've made to \waffle\system\files in
    response to suggestions you have helpfully made.

    Despite these changes, none of the mail from the XyWrite mailing
    list has been translated into a newsgroup. There follows a
    typical header from the mailing list [offset from the left
    margin to avoid misunderstanding by mailreaders] - note that my
    alias does not figure in it:-

   Any more suggestions, or should I conclude that
mail-into-news doesn't work?
