       Got the a funny file in the net.games newsgroup today.
       I sent it to
       uucp -d 53 cbosg!~/egb/net.games.53

       it shoule be in /usr/spool/uucppublic/egb/net.games.53.
       It has what appears to be a digest appended onto the end of
       a discussion of rogue scores. Have you seen this problem?
       Is it my software or someone elses (perhaps version A on harpo
       which feeds me?)?



Well, folks, the plot sickens.  egb's copy of this is garbled,
but my copy is clean.  His came from harpo, so did ours.
So in the case of this particular message, mhtsa and further
back is cleared - it has to be either harpo or whuxlb.  Brian
said something about a full /usr filesystem - it could be that
this is all or part of the problem, somewhere in the broadcasting
link where the local copy (which is fine) gets copied to either
a temp file or a uucp spool file.
