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.
