Lines: 9 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.
