I have no idea....  I don't even know *what* is wrong, much less where.

The fact that it's Linux shouldn't make any difference.

It's not really trouble, just inconvenient.  And it can make conversations
hard to follow.  As I've said, it happens with a number of people in several
mailing lists.  I just decided to finally mention it.

(Another pet peeve of mine is people who always put the no-archive header
into the message, and then places like Google wont keep it.  For those of us
who actually use Google to browse the newsgroups and keep track of a few
threads, it's darn annoying.)
