-- From Allan Pratt
	Could someone please post info on the differences between notes and
news? I use notes, and I am guessing that when I write a "response" to a note,
it is passed as a "followup" to that note. On the other hand, I may be badly
confused. Thanks anyway...

--------

1.	Look at the subject line of this article.  It has been truncated
	to 40 characters courtesy of "notes".  Also a completely useless
	suffix "- (nf)" has been added.

2.	When you write a "response" to a note it is not passed as a followup
	but as an ordinary article.  The distinguishing feature of a
	followup is a "References:" line in the article header.  The
	notesfiles -> news "gateway" does not provide this extremely
	useful field.
