The problem is that notes doesn't conform to the usenet standard
for formatting articles.  It has its own idea of what the headers
should look like, and it tosses out the "References:" line, while
inserting a bunch of junk into the body of the article.

I've heard all the "moving target" arguments, and I sympathize,
but all you notes fans should get off your soapboxes long enough
to bring notes up to the standard for message interchange that the
rest of us have agreed to.
