It seems that my news reader, xrn, did the work for me!  In its list of
unread articles, it truncates the subject line to 42 characters, so until
I saw Robert's post, I truly believed that all these postings had the
subject line

(The body of the message contains the full subject line, of course, but I
tend to ignore the header lines in a message body.)
