Wesley, it appears on brief investigation that SOME of those lines are being
generated by Outlook Express, in the message HEADER.  The X-A-Notice
apparently is being generated by the Internet America (airmail.net) outgoing
News server when it truncates the References line, and that is causing
subsequent things to become part of the message body.  The X-A-Notice line,
in particular, is NOT present in my outgoing message.

The exact header on THIS message, as it sat in the outgoing box was:

What appears to be happening is that the Internet America outgoing news
server is putting in a blank line before the X-A-Notice line, then
generating the Abuse-Reports-To and NNTP-* lines.  The blank line forces the
remainder of the header into the body.

I have a query in to Internet America, to see if I can do anything about it.
There does NOT appear to be an Outlook Express setting to "fix the problem",
but I admittedly am not an Outlook Express user.  Any assistance you can
provide on this would be appreciated.

And I would have sent this to you as a private reply, but you didn't provide
an email address.
