The remaining problem seems to be subject lines with "Re:" in them,
when there are no In-Reply-To and References: headers.  This
apparently makes the NNTP server flag the message as a followup and
then be unhappy because there's no reference.  

(See my subject-mangling of Botp's reply message, which resulted in
the message reaching comp.lang.ruby.)

Dennis has several messages from me, leading up to this conclusion,
for when he gets up tomorrow :-)  So hopefully a fix will be
forthcoming soon.
